Termites promote soil carbon and nitrogen depletion: Results from an in situ macrofauna exclusion experiment, Peru
We present results from one of the first in situ soil termite exclusion experiments using translocated soil that was not colonised by termites prior to the experiment. Macrofauna were excluded or included using fine (0.3 mm) and coarse (5 mm) mesh, respectively. We found that termites were the most...
