[HTML][HTML] Are nests of Constrictotermes cyphergaster (Isoptera, Termitidae) important in the C cycle in the driest area of semiarid caatinga in northeast Brazil?
Termites play an important role in the carbon cycling of several ecosystems. Part of this C is
directed to the formation of nests or mounds, but few published estimations have been made …
