Effects of Erosion from Mounds of Different Termite Genera on Distinct Functional Grassland Types in an African Savannah
A key aspect of savannah vegetation heterogeneity is mosaics formed by two functional grassland types, bunch grasslands, and grazing lawns. We investigated the role of termites, important ecosystem engineers, in creating high-nutrient patches in the form of grazing lawns. Some of the ways termites c...
