Abstract

As a bioproduct from the thermal decomposition of biomass, biochar has var- ious applications in diversified fields. Biochar is gaining attention for its potential to solve some of environmental issues, including but not limited to climate change mitiga- tion, waste management, soil fertility improvement, and pollution remediation The pre- sent study employs bibliometric techniques to visually represent the current status and emerging patterns of biochar exploration within environmental frameworks. This biblio- metric scrutiny is designed to assess the influence of biochar on diverse environmental systems by examining the scholarly works encompassing 19822 documents retrieved from the Scopus repository. The study focuses on publications dated between 1889 and 2024 and is limited to the subject area “ENVI.“ The visual analysis results demonstrate that the number of publications expanded dramatically since 2010, and the growth trend will continue. China was the most contributing country in biochar research regarding the number of publications (51,83%), then USA and India (14,31% and 7,68%). Clustering analysis further reveals distinct thematic clusters within soil and plant growth; emissions and environmental impact; and adsorption and pollutant removal. By mapping the cita- tion networks and collaboration patterns, we provide insights into the interdisciplinary nature of biochar research and its global research distribution This review highlights re- search gaps and future directions while summarizing the current state of knowledge to maximize the environmental impact of biochar. Our findings underscore the need for integrated approaches that combine biochar application with sustainable environmental management practices.
