This review covers more than twenty-five years of research listing and discussing the
biogeochemical, mineralogical, and physical impacts of fungus-growing termites (or FGT …

Fungus-feeding termites are considered to be ecosystem engineers because of their ability
to construct massive and complex mounds with different soil physicochemical and biological …

Termites are a prototypical example of the 'extended phenotype'given their ability to shape
their environments by constructing complex nesting structures and cultivating fungus …

Purpose High population growth and the expansion of industry from time to time produce a
large amount of waste/pollution, which harms global environmental health. To overcome the …

Aims Termites function as “soil engineers” in tropical agroforestry ecosystems. However, of
their role in phosphorus (P) cycling little is known. We aimed to investigate the impact of …

Ants and termites reach high abundances in the tropics and substantially affect the
environment through a range of their activities. Because of foraging and decomposition of …

The use of termite mound soils in enhancing soil fertility and plant growth, especially in
areas with poor soil conditions, has been recommended by many research studies. Most of …

Many species of fungus-feeding termites collectively build massive mound structures that
enclose a network of broad tunnels to provide a controlled microclimate in which to raise …
