The rhizosphere hosts diverse microbes crucial for plant growth. This is because roots secrete organic compounds, thereby enriching the with essential nutrients. Biochar improves soil quality, while nano-biochar shows promise in contaminant adsorption. Its production from biochar easily achievable through top-down methodologies including hydrothermal synthesis, ball-milling, sonication, and centrifugation. advantages of employing are evident several aspects. Nano-biochar exhibits enhanced properties such as greater surface area, increased porosity, reactivity compared to bulk-biochar. area allows adsorption capacity, enabling effectively immobilize contaminants environment. In this review, detailed interactions applications summarized. interacts by electrostatic interaction, cation-π redox reactions, influencing microbial communities resilience. can adsorb rhizosphere, heavy metals pollutants. Thus, it helps alleviate abiotic stresses, nutrient availability, supports Furthermore, mechanistic processes oxidation, mineral dissolution, matter release, mechanical fragmentation discussed, culminating ageing formation, which creates a conducive environment microorganisms. review examines nano-biochar-rhizosphere interactions, highlighting their effects on plant-soil dynamics Future research should address synthesis scalability safety concerns unlock nano-biochar's potential sustainable agriculture environmental management.

Biochar as a Soil amendment: implications for soil health, carbon sequestration, and climate resilience

Discover Soil., Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 2(1)

Published: March 3, 2025

Abstract Biochar, a carbon-rich material produced through the pyrolysis of organic biomass, has gained increasing attention as sustainable soil amendment due to its potential enhance health, improve agricultural productivity, and mitigate climate change. This review explores multifaceted benefits biochar, including ability sequester carbon for long periods, thereby reducing atmospheric greenhouse gases. Biochar’s unique properties, such porous structure, high cation exchange capacity, nutrient retention capabilities, significantly fertility, water-holding microbial activity. These improvements increase crop resilience against drought, erosion, loss, supporting climate-resilient systems. Additionally, biochar’s application can lower nitrous oxide methane emissions from soils, further contributing change mitigation. However, effectiveness biochar is influenced by factors feedstock type, conditions, rates. Understanding these variables crucial optimizing biochar's use in different types environmental conditions.
