Abstract

Major improvements in farm management are required to establish further stable industry systems and strengthen poor regional economies. In global agriculture, soil deterioration, including decreased fecundity and enhanced deterioration, is a serious worry. The impact of biochar on soil microbial populations is closely tied to agricultural food production. The complex interactions between plant roots and microorganisms take place in the plant rhizosphere. Biochar has the potential to be a new and valuable fertilizer, either directly or indirectly. This is because of their low fertility and the environmental and economic benefits they provide. In addition, previous studies/meta-analyses synthesized only microbial community responses to biochar based mainly on traditional techniques (such as PLFA and DGGE). With the rapid development of analytical methods (e.g., high throughput sequencing), in this study, we can examine the diversity and abundance of microorganisms with higher classification accuracy (such as bacteria and fungi) in biochar-modified soils. Conditions or has the potential for targeted soil management. Although there is growing interest in utilizing biochar for soil management, some studies have found detrimental effects. There are still several research gaps and ambiguities to be addressed in this chapter. In future research, further relevant investigations, particularly long-term tests, will be required to close these information gaps.
