Highlights Yield, N content, and specific surface area of biochar predicted by machine learning Gradient boosting regression outperformed random forest, with test R2 of 0.81–0.95 Temperature, nitrogen, and ash were top features for predicting the three targets The yield and properties of biochar were engineered and experimentally verified
