Application of Biochar for Improving Physical, Chemical, and Hydrological Soil Properties: A Systematic Review

Biochar is a carbon-based substance made by the pyrolysis of organic waste. The amount biochar produced determined type feedstock and conditions. frequently added to soil for various reasons, including carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas mitigation, improved crop production boosting fertility, removing harmful contaminants, drought mitigation. may also be used waste management wastewater treatment. Biochar’s advantages make it potentially appealing instrument material current science technology. Although biochar’s impacts on chemical qualities fertility have been extensively researched, little known about its impact enhancing physical qualities. This review intended describe influence some crucial hydrological properties, bulk density soil, water holding capacity, porosity, hydraulic conductivity, retention, repellence–available plant water, infiltration, temperature, color, surface albedo. Therefore, we propose that application in soils has considerable advantages, this especially true arable with low fertility.
