As a promising amendment, biochar has excellent characteristics and can be used as a remediation agent for diverse types of soil pollution. Biochar is mostly made from agricultural wastes, forestry wastes, and biosolids (eg, sewage sludge), but not all the biochar has the same performance in the improvement of soil quality. There is a lack of guidelines devoted to the selection of biochar to be used for different types of soil pollution, and this can undermine the remediation efficiency. To shed light on this sensitive issue, this review focus on the following aspects, (i) how feedstocks affect biochar properties, (ii) the effects of biochar on heavy metals and organic pollutants in soil, and (iii) the impact on greenhouse gas emissions from soil. Generally, the biochars produced from crop residue and woody biomass which are composed of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose are more suitable for organic pollution remediation and greenhouse gas emission reduction, while biochar with high ash content are more suitable for cationic organic pollutant and heavy metal pollution (manure and sludge, etc.). Additionally, the effect of biochar on soil microorganisms shows that gram-negative bacteria in soil tend to use WB biochar with high lignin content, while biochar from OW (rich in P, K, Mg, and other nutrients) is more able to promote enzyme activity. Finally, our recommendations on feedstocks selection are presented in the form of a flow diagram, which is precisely intended to be used as a support for decisions on the crucial proportioning conditions to be selected for the preparation of biochar having specific properties and to maximize its efficiency in pollution control.
