Integrated Microalgal Wastewater Treatment and Biomass Valorization: A Circular Economy Approach Using Chlorella sorokiniana and Scenedesmus obliquus.

This study demonstrates that cultivating *Chlorella sorokiniana* and *Scenedesmus obliquus* in primary urban wastewater effectively removes nutrients and heavy metals to meet agricultural reuse standards while producing distinct, high-value biomass extracts that function as potent biostimulants for crop growth, thereby validating a sustainable circular economy model.

Physiographic Modulation of Compost-induced Biochemical Responses, Nutrient Uptake and Vegetative Growth of Okra Under Contrasting Soil Moisture Conditions

This study demonstrates that in tropical savanna soils, landscape position significantly modulates the effectiveness of poultry-manure compost on okra growth by influencing soil moisture levels, which in turn drive variations in redox potential, enzyme activities, and nutrient uptake.
