Tóm tắt

AbstractSoil health is a key factor for the global food security. One of the main bottlenecks for the efficient utilization of farmland soil is the accumulation of allelochemicals excreted by plant roots, leached and volatilized from plants, and released during the decomposition of plant residues. The negative impacts derived from allelochemicals include: decreasing soil fertility, breaking the balance of soil microbial community, reducing seed germination rate and crop yield, and interfering with the growth of neighboring or successive plants. Recently, biochar, a soil amendment with low cost and high performance, is extensively studied on its functions and effects on farmland systems. In this review, we focused on the potential role of biochar in controlling the environmental fate and risk of allelochemicals in soils. The source and potential toxicity of allelochemicals in farmland and the deficiencies in current methods for alleviating the allelopathy were summarized first, followed by the discussion on their sorption and degradation by biochar as well as the impact of biochar properties on the performance and mechanism. At the same time, the generation of allelochemicals regulated by biochar through improving plant growth conditions was analyzed. The modification of biochar for alleviating the allelopathy and then overcoming the obstacles of agricultural production was also addressed. Future research directions, such as targeted biochar production, the interactions between different allelochemicals and biochar investigated by simulations and modeling, negative effects and stability of biochar or modified biochar, were then proposed. This review will provide useful theoretical and technical supports for targeted biochar applications in soils with allelopathy. Graphical abstract
