Serving Waynesboro, Augusta County & the Shenandoah Valley

This briefing describes mesocosm and field experiments designed to evaluate biochar effects on stream benthic macroinvertebrate communities. Conducted at Colorado State University's Stream Research Laboratory, the study tests particle-size and concentration effects on survival, community composition, drift, immigration and community metabolism, and includes a copper-binding experiment to assess biochar's mitigation of metal toxicity.
