Abstract Biochar is a carbon-containing material prepared through thermal treatment of biomass in limited supply oxygen, and used for an array applications including waste management, climate change mitigation, soil fertility improvement, bio-energy production, contaminant remediation. The data related to biochar, its the wide applicability were collected using Web Science Core Collection Database (on 25/10/2022), while bibliometric network analysis was performed VOSviewer software analyse year-wise, author-wise, country-wise, journal-wise publication trends, construct keyword co-occurrence maps, identify research areas receiving greater focus. Further, biochar reviewed mechanistic insights provided. Some findings include: > 50% documents (> 13,000) getting published past 3 years, 90% 21,000) being articles, ~ publications 10,000) environmental sciences, pyrolysis most widely (~ 40% articles) production technique (followed by carbonization, gasification, combustion, torrefaction), China active country terms 11,000), mostly removing contaminants energy mitigation). Various strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT analysis) wide-ranging identified. Lastly, gaps identified need performing elaborate life cycle assessments, exploring machine learning artificial intelligence upgrading conversion technology producing application-specific investigating aspects soil-biochar interactions nano-scale transformation biochar. study covers broad spectrum lesser attention, which could guide future researchers augmenting research.

Biochars provide several agricultural and environmental benefits, such as soil health improvement, better crop growth yield, carbon sequestration, decreasing greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, regulation of nutrient dynamics. This review highlights the role biochar in transforming soil’s physiochemical biological properties, their impact on improving seed germination seedling growth, altering physiological attributes, enhancing resistance against biotic abiotic stresses, productivity, curtailing GHGs, controlling leaching losses. However, type feedstock used, pyrolysis temperature, application rate method, species largely influence performance under different conditions. Application biochars at low rates help to promote growth. Biochar modified microbial processes rhizosphere increased mineralization enhanced availability for plant uptake. Hence, diseases, reduced heavy metals improved resilience stressors. By providing a comprehensive analysis about variable impacts physicochemical development productivity mitigating problems, this is quite valuable developing an efficient specific with desired functionalities. It could be helpful ensuring food security management environment. Furthermore, identifies knowledge gaps suggests future outlooks commercialization applications large-scale.

The greatest challenge for the agriculture sector in twenty-first century is to increase agricultural production feed burgeoning global population while maintaining soil health and integrity of agroecosystem. Currently, application biochar widely implemented as an effective means boosting sustainable having a negligible influence on ecosystems environment. In comparison traditional biochar, nano-biochar (nano-BC) boasts enhanced specific surface area, adsorption capacity, mobility properties within soil, allowing it promote properties, crop growth, environmental remediation. Additionally, carbon sequestration reduction methane nitrous oxide emissions from can be achieved with nano-BC applications, contributing climate change mitigation. Nonetheless, due cost-effectiveness, sustainability, friendliness, waste-derived may emerge most viable alternative conventional waste management strategies, circular bioeconomy broader goal achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, it's important note that research still its nascent stages. Potential risks, including toxicity aquatic terrestrial environments, necessitate extensive field investigations. This review delineates potential outlining current advancements, challenges, possibilities realms sustainability standpoint.
