Land-use diversity within an agricultural landscape promotes termite nutrient cycling services in a southern African savanna
Soil macrofauna provide key supporting ecosystem services by transporting nutrients against physical and chemical gradients. In the semi-arid savannas of southern Africa, termites are the dominant macrofauna whose foraging activities increase nutrient availability, soil aeration and water infiltrati...
