Wood decomposition is more rapid on than off termite mounds in an African savanna

Abstract Decomposition is important for nutrient cycling and the dynamics of soil organic matter. The factors that influence local decomposition rates in savannas dominated by Macrotermes mounds remain uncertain. Here, we experimentally assessed the effects of macro‐ and micro‐detritivores, active a...
