Biochar, a carbonaceous material produced through pyrolysis of organic matter, has garnered attention for its potential to enhance soil fertility, structure, and overall health. However, its effects on soil-dwelling insects remain a subject of considerable interest and debate. This chapter critically examines the current state of knowledge regarding the interactions between biochar applications and soil-dwelling insects, encompassing diverse aspects such as alterations in insect community composition, population dynamics, behavioral changes, and potential mitigation of infestations. Through an exploration of empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, it aims to elucidate the intricate relationships between biochar amendments and soil insect ecology.
