dc.description.abstractThe nutrient-rich composition of seaweeds and lichens makes them well-suited for agricultural applications. Their use as alternatives to synthetic fertilizers contributes to sustainable agricultural production, enabling farmers to adopt ecological practices while maintaining or increasing crop productivity. This review aims to highlight the status and trends of research, along with a literature analysis on the application of these biomasses in sustainable agriculture. A bibliometric analysis was performed based on two databases (Scopus and Web of Science) to overview the main research topics regarding the use of biomasses studied in agriculture, thus providing useful information for future research. The biochemical composition and agricultural applications of these biomasses have been highlighted. The analysis shows that these biomasses are rich of nutrient compounds, revealing their roles and mechanisms of action on the chemical, nutritional properties, and soil microbial activities and their effect on plant growth, using various extraction and application methods. It also highlighted the potential of seaweeds for protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. In light of all the data presented in this review, it is possible to stimulate farmers’ interest in using seaweeds and lichens as natural fertilizers, with a focus on sustainable and ecological agriculture mainly in developing countries.por
