Innovative strategies for utilizing microalgae as dual-purpose biofertilizers and phycoremediators in agroecosystems.

The increasing need for sustainable agricultural practices due to the overuse of chemical fertilizers has prompted interest in microalgae as biofertilizers. This review investigates the potential of microalgae as biofertilizers and phycoremediators within sustainable agroecosystems, addressing both soil fertility and wastewater management. Microalgae provide a dual benefit by absorbing excess nutrients and contaminants from wastewater, generating nutrient-rich biomass that can replace chemical fertilizers and support plant growth.

Geometric relationship between the projected surface area and mass of a plastic particle.

The quantification of the mass of meso/microplastic (MMP) particles is crucial for assessing the global inventory of ocean plastics and assessing environmental and human health risks. Herein, linear regression models between mass and projected surface area on a log scale were established by directly measuring the masses of 4390 MMP particles collected at 35 sites in 17 Japanese rivers with an ultramicrobalance. The linear regression models estimated mass concentrations more accurately than any previous method based on geometric volume assuming several three-dimensional shapes.
