Agricultural intensification, soil biodiversity and agroecosystem function in the tropics: the role of termites
HIJ Black, MJN Okwakol - Applied soil ecology, 1997 - Elsevier
In natural ecosystems, termites are typical ecosystem engineers and, in semi-arid
ecosystems, often keystone species. It is thus likely that termites play a major beneficial role …
