Biochar Production From Invasive Alien Plants: A Pathway to Sustainable Biomass Management and Resource Recovery

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Across the world, invasive alien plants (IAPs) threaten biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and livelihoods. A potentially sustainable method for controlling IAPs is to convert their biomass into biochar, which reduces invasion pressure while producing useful products.

A Bibliometric‐Based Review of Biochar for Salt‐Affected Soil Restoration: Mapping Research Trends and Future Directions

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 8963-8985, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, biochar has been studied for its range of applications. Recognized by the IPCC as a key Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) strategy, it also stands out as an important tool for reclaiming degraded lands, including vast global areas affected by salinity, such as those in China, India, and Australia.

Engineering Biochar‐Derived Functional Materials for High‐Performance Supercapacitors: Design Principles, Mechanisms, and Scalable Strategies

Carbon Energy, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochar has emerged as a useful and adaptable source of carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Its value comes from the way biomass chemistry, thermal conversion, and activation conditions shape the resulting pore network, surface groups, and degree of carbon ordering.
