  abstract = {{T}his study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis ({MA}) of systematic review data on poultry litter biochar ({PLB}) to answer the following questions: (i) {W}hat are the major studies regarding this worldwide? (ii) {W}hich soil chemical attributes are the most affected? and (iii) {D}oes {PLB} improve soil quality and crop productivity? {MA} revealed that the application of {PLB} significantly changed several key soil attributes, including p{H}, cation exchange capacity ({CEC}), and nitrogen, carbon, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and aluminum content. {S}pecifically, {MA} showed that {PLB} decreased {A}l3+ in the soil by 71% while increasing p{H}, {N}, {C}, and {CEC} by 16, 20, 36, and 82%, respectively. {T}his significant increase in {CEC} was associated with the addition of {C}a2+, {M}g2+, and {K}+ cations by 43, 202, and 636%, respectively. {I}t was verified that {PLB} serves a dual function: it corrects soil acidity and p{H} while also enhancing the content of key nutrients, such as {C} and {N}. {T}his study broadens the understanding of the potential of reusing poultry litter in biochar production, offering valuable data for developing strategies to improve both soil health and fertility.},
