Anthropogenic activities have resulted in land desertification various regions of the world, leading to degradation critical soil characteristics such as organic matter (OM) content, nutrient stock, and prevailing biodiversity. Restoring degraded soils through amendments diversified crop rotations is thus an intrinsic part farming. This review discusses a wide range farming impacts on health productivity by focusing fertilizers diversification. Conventional were considered vital for agricultural production harvest high yields. Nevertheless, they are now deemed environmentally hazardous obstacle sustainable agroecosystems due intensive chemical inputs that damage over time long-lasting impacts. fertilization results depletion, loss microbial diversity, reduction, deterioration physical soil. Conversely, makes use naturally existing resources improve health. Organic biochar, manure, fermented grass soil’s physical, chemical, biological properties promote growth diversity beneficial microorganisms—important cycling stability. They facilitate uptake nutrients, hinder pathogen growth, mitigate heavy metals, decompose xenobiotic substances. Moreover, growing cover crops also major strategy Diversified rotation with combinatorial may yields without any detrimental environment soil, ensuring food production, safety, security. integrated approach contributes minimizing their effects environmental It reducing along enhancing OM, biomass, nitrogen fixation, carbon sequestration. Therefore, offer climate change mitigation.

Although intensive farming practices have greatly increased food production, they undermined the soil ecosystem services on which agriculture depends. Biochar application in soils is increasingly gaining worldwide acceptance as a means of addressing these environmental challenges while enhancing agricultural productivity. offers dual benefits that support security and ecological well-being through enhanced fertility plant nutrition. These include water retention, promotion microbial functioning, carbon sequestration, nutrient absorption, among others. In spite known benefits, many studies continue to emphasize roles biochar plays health crop yields but often neglect influence characteristics, are key optimizing services. Thus, it important understand how characteristics supporting, regulating, provisioning This review comprehensive integrative assessment biochar’s rather than examining each service individually. The focus feedstock material pyrolysis temperature determine generated efficacy supplying dynamics for yields.
