Effects of ant bioturbation and foraging activities on soil mechanical properties and stability
Ants are ecosystem engineers, and their nesting and foraging activities are critical to modifying soil structure. In this paper, the soil physical and mechanical properties of in situ subterranean ant nesting soil and non-ant nesting soil around the nest of the Iridomyrmex anceps were investigated s...
