Engineered carbon-based fertilizers for sustainable agriculture: physicochemical mechanisms of nutrient release, soil health improvement, and plant uptake
The intensive use of synthetic mineral fertilizers has sustained global crop productivity but has also contributed to greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient losses, and progressive soil degradation. Carbon-based fertilizers (CBFs) represent an emerging class of functional carbon materials that integrate nutrient retention...
