Description:	Aquatic ecosystems are influenced by complex interactions among co-occurring species, impacting energy transfer and ecosystem functionality. Microalgae and macrophytes, as primary producers, play vital roles in regulating water quality, reducing the effects of high temperatures through shading, and contributing to nutrient cycling. Both organisms show significant potential for sustainable applications, including bioenergy production, fertilizers, and bioremediation of wastewater. While microalgae have been extensively studied for their biotechnological applications, macrophytes have received less attention despite their comparable efficiency in nutrient removal and biomass production. This review compares the properties of microalgae and macrophytes in terms of productivity, bioremediation efficiency, and growth-stimulating effects. It also explores potential functional associations between these two groups, highlighting their combined benefits in nutrient recovery, wastewater treatment, and climate change mitigation. The integration of these organisms in agriculture and environmental management offers promising solutions for sustainable resource use and ecosystem health.
