Abstract There has been more than 75% rise in the number of extreme weather events such as drought and flood during 2000–2019 compared to 1980–1999 due adverse effects climate change, causing significant deterioration soil water quality. Simultaneously, growing human population exerting pressure on available resources overuse or unplanned use. While greenhouse gas emissions have intensified, fertility agricultural soils declined globally exposure frequent flooding, desertification, salinization (resulting from events). The current review aims give an overview damages caused soil–plant system by provide a perspective how biochar can repair damaged system. Biochar is known improve fertility, increase crop productivity mitigate via sustainable recycling bio-waste. Beneficial properties alkaline pH, high cation exchange capacity, abundant surface functional groups, remarkable area, adequate porosity, excellent holding sufficient nutrient retention capacity help This paper recommends some cautious future approaches that propel biochar’s use improving systems promoting functioning weather-affected areas mitigation effects.
