Overview

Systematic review reveals biochar enhances soil fertility, sequesters carbon, and remediates heavy metals in agricultural soils, highlighting the impact of feedstock and pyrolysis conditions.

Key Points

Synthesize the mechanisms, agronomic performance, and remediation potential of biochar while highlighting the critical influence of feedstock selection and pyrolysis conditions.
Systematically evaluated literature on biochar applications in agricultural sustainability, environmental remediation, and soil biological activity.
Assessed performance across production parameters including feedstock type, pyrolysis temperature, residence time, application rate, and soil pH.
Biochar application achieves net-negative carbon footprints, mitigates greenhouse gas emissions, and enhances crop productivity, soil structure, and nutrient availability across agricultural soils.
Contaminant immobilization and heavy metal phytostabilization efficiency are governed primarily by pyrolysis temperature, residence duration, feedstock chemistry, and soil pH.
Identified critical gaps regarding long-term field stability, complex soil-agronomic interactions, and risk assessment frameworks for large-scale environmental deployment.
