Summary

This review explored the potential of microalgae for improving soil health, including their ability to fix carbon and nitrogen, produce plant hormones, enhance soil fertility, and help control soil pollutants. The study discusses how microalgae-based approaches could contribute to sustainable agriculture by improving soil ecological health and helping remediate contaminated soils.

Study Type Environmental

Soil is the basis of agricultural production, and the quality of soil directly affects crop quality and yield. Microalgae can carry out photosynthesis, carbon and nitrogen fixation, and produce large amounts of valuable biomass coupled with wastewater treatment. Also, microalgae can produce plant hormones and other high-value products, which can promote plant growth, improve soil fertility, soil ecological health, and control crop diseases. This research reviews the characteristics of microalgae in improving soil health, discusses the situation of microalgae in controlling soil pollutants, elaborates on the technical application of microalgae in alleviating soil problems, and proposes potential applications of microalgae in ecological environment. Also, resource utilization of multifunctional microalgae is discussed, to provide a theoretical basis for the application of microalgae in soil improvement.
