Termite Preferences for Foraging Sites
Sustainability in Plant and Crop Protection(2018)
摘要
Termite interaction with soil and its manipulation create spatial variability via the nests and other structures they build using mainly finer materials from surrounding soils. Their preference for particular nesting and foraging conditions profoundly affects the physical as well as microbial properties of soils. Their activities to transport soil and water as well as establish and maintain symbiotic relationship with some microorganisms create suitable nesting and foraging places. They also create fertile area in an otherwise barren landscape. More knowledge on their interaction with soil and preferential foraging might help in understanding the conditions under which they are spreading beyond their usual climatic zones. Their potential for improving poor soil conditions into productive ones is also immense. This chapter details termite soil interaction and their preference for foraging sites in different environmental conditions.
