For that purpose we sampled ten mounds and ten control plots identical with those sampled for the analysis of soil properties and analyzed below-ground biomass

Ants are important components of ecosystems not only because they constitute a great part of the animal biomass but also because they act as ecosystem
A:
The presence of ants, particularly of those building pronounced mounds, can substantially influence the biomass and architecture of roots and rhizomes through
dostalPEDO
Ants present also many specialized taxa, are rela- tively easy to collect and to separate into morphospecies, and account for more than 10 of animal biomass
In terms of biomass, ants often dominate in warm Table 1-Ant species listed as occurring in north central British Columbia, or that can reasonably be expected

Neither ant nor spider total biomass was significantly related to plant species richness. By contrast the biomass distribution of web-building and hunting.
Ferns supporting a higher biomass of ants experienced less herbivory and experimental exclusions of ants from fronds confirmed that this is caused by the
