| Περίληψη: | Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), recognized as emerging biological contaminants, pose a significant risk to human health due to the widespread and excessive antibiotic use. In this context, biochar has been identified as a promising and effective environmental remediation material for emerging contaminants. However, the effectiveness of biochar in mitigating antibiotics and ARGs remains highly uncertain across diverse environmental scenarios, thereby hindering a comprehensive understanding of its abatement performance. We conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively assess the effects of biochar application on the presence of antibiotics and ARGs in soil-plant systems and manure. The results demonstrated that biochar application effectively reduced antibiotic concentrations in soil (-35.0%), plants (-59.1%), and manure (-47.9%), accompanied by substantial decreases in both absolute (-31.1% to -63.2%) and relative (-39.9% to -66.6%) ARG abundance. Notably, biochar exhibited a pronounced mitigation effect on high-risk ARGs in plants and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in soil and manure. The abatement effect of biochar on antibiotics and ARGs varied with biochar properties, soil and manure properties, and experimental conditions, with the relative importance of these drivers differing markedly among environmental media. These mitigation effects were primarily attributed to biochar-induced alterations in soil and manure properties, bacterial communities, and MGEs. Importantly, this study also emphasizes that the potential ecological risks posed by biochar application can be simultaneously minimized. These findings advance our current understanding of the role of biochar amendments in addressing emerging contaminants across diverse environmental scenarios. (Copyright © 2026 Elsevier B.V.
