Slide presentation reporting preliminary experiments on effects of biochar on stream benthic macroinvertebrate communities. Field colonization trays and eighteen microcosm exposures compared control, large and small biochar particles, and a copper reference. Endpoints included drift, immigration, survival, composition, and community metabolism; biochar markedly reduced metabolism, with effects comparable in magnitude to copper.
