Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(4), P. 1748 - 1748

Published: Feb. 19, 2025

Biochar utilisation as a soil enhancer has gathered considerable interest owing to its notable capacity boost productivity, enhance carbon sequestration, and improve agricultural sustainability. Nonetheless, how biochar affects the microbiome, key health ecological functioning, remains contested subject. Given critical role microbial communities play in maintaining variations microbiota may have substantial impact on fertility stability. Despite wealth of studies effects communities, results demonstrate that reaction microbiome varies greatly depending edaphic properties other factors such experimental conditions practices. Notably, different components respond soil/biochar unique way, which makes generalising impacts difficult task. In this review, we comprehensively examine governing especially terms repercussions diversity, community structure, functional dynamics, potential ramifications for productivity environmental

Biochar is considered as a potential substitute for soil organic matter (SOM). Considering the importance of biochar, present review based on different benefits and risks application biochar to soil. addition low carbon soils can act feasible solution keep biologically active cycling nutrients. The could improve fertility, increase crop yield, enhance plant growth microbial abundance, immobilize contaminants in It also be helpful sequestration return stock back partially combusted form. Due large surface area which generally depends upon types feedstock pyrolysis conditions, it helps reduce leaching fertilizers from supplies additional nutrients growing crops. However, may have some adverse effects due emissions during process, but exerts positive priming effect (a phenomenon subjection one stimulus positively influences subsequent stimulus) SOM decomposition, depletion (macro- micro-) via strong adsorption, impact physicochemical properties. In view above limitations, all possible issues related should considered. presents extensive detailed information sustainable approach environmental use its limitations.

Can biochar be an effective and reliable biostimulating agent for the remediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils?

Environment International, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 154, P. 106553 - 106553

Published: April 16, 2021

Petroleum hydrocarbons represent one of the most common soil contaminants, whose presence poses a significant risk to biota and human health; for example, in Europe, hydrocarbon contamination accounts more than 30% contaminated sites. The use biochar as proposed alternative conventional remediation with petroleum has gained credence recent times because its cost-effectiveness environmentally friendly nature. Biochar is carbonaceous material produced by heating biomass an oxygen-limited environment at high temperature. This review provides overview application remediate hydrocarbon-contaminated soils, emphasis on possibility functioning biostimulation agent. properties were also examined. Furthermore, mechanism, ecotoxicological impact possible factors affecting biochar-based are discussed. concludes examining drawbacks soils how mitigate them. impacts microbes, which may result promotion degradation soil. Linear regression between bacterial population efficiency showed that R2 was higher (0.50) treatment amended or both nutrient/fertiliser (p < 0.01), compared only no amendment (R2 = 0.11). suggest key enhancing microbial thus biodegradation hydrocarbons. represents promising agent However, there remains questions be answered.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination greatly impacts soil health and ecological environment. In recent years, cotton straw biochar Bacillus compound biofertilizer have been paid much attention in the remediation of Cd-contaminated soils. this study, effects (3%, w/w) (1.5%, on Cd fractions, migration, bacterial community succession, metabolites soils with different concentrations (1, 2, 4 mg kg-1) were explored. The results showed that relative abundance Actinobacteriota, Acidobacteriota, Firmicutes, Cyanobacteric enzyme activities decreased, metabolic pathways also changed compared those control. After application biofertilizer, available concentration many exchangeable carbonate-bound transformed into residual Cd, which decreased bioavailability accumulation organs. addition, improved activity enzymes dominant bacteria stimulated Verrucomicrobiota, Methylomirabilota, Cyanobacteria to secrete organic acids amino acid compounds, toxicity Cd. Besides, biochar, was more effective immobilizing improving This study provides guidance for alkaline soil, makes contributions sustainable development.

Sustainable Agriculture and Plant Production by Virtue of Biochar in the Era of Climate Change

Published: Jan. 1, 2022

In recent years, rapid increase in population growth, improper usage of synthetic fertilizers, organic matter depletion, nutrient imbalance, and land degradation owing to several anthropogenic activities have significantly exerted considerable pressure on agriculture which negatively influences sustainable plant production. Therefore, it is necessary sustain the most appropriate levels degraded soils, supports crop production maintains cycling them. Biochar has been broadly used for among different matters due its advantages such as mitigating global warming, excellent soil conditioner, a potential amendment various environmental applications over other additives. Moreover, biochar additions agricultural soils also promoted seed germination, biomass, yield, nutritional qualities crops grown amended soils. addition these benefits, microorganisms by providing them habitat porous structure releases essential nutrients from matrix, improving microbial communities.
