Soil culture experiment shows biochar and seaweed fertilizers improve maize growth and soil quality.

Biochar and seaweed fertilizers significantly increased maize aboveground biomass by up to 17.28%.
Soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, and available nutrients were markedly increased with organic amendments.
Bacterial diversity improved under biochar treatments, while fungal richness showed a decline with combined applications.
Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant relationships between bacterial diversity and maize growth indicators.

Huang et al. (2025) studied this question.
