Litter type and termites regulate root decomposition across contrasting savanna land-uses

Smith, Stuart; Speed, James David Mervyn; Bukombe, John; Hassan, Shombe Ntaraluka; Lyamuya, Richard Daniel; Mtweve, Philipo Jacob; Sundsdal, Anders; Graae, Bente Jessen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)

Decomposition is a vital ecosystem process, increasingly modified by human activity. Theoretical frameworks and empirical studies that aim to understand the interplay between human land-use, macro-fauna and decomposition ...
Teatime for termites: Understanding the impact of human land-use and climate on termite and microbial litter decomposition

Sundsdal, Anders (Master thesis, 2019)

Nedbrytning av planter er en fundamental underliggende prosess for næringssyklus og økosystemproduktivitet. Nedbrytningshastigheten i savanneøkosystemene er avhengige av både jordmikrober og makrofauna, hvor termitter er ...
Teatime in the Serengeti: macrodetritivores sustain recalcitrant plant litter decomposition across human-modified tropical savannahs

Sundsdal, Anders; Graae, Bente Jessen; Speed, James David Mervyn; Bukombe, John; Mtweve, Philipo Jacob; Arneberg, Marit K.; Haukenes, Vilde; Grevskott, Ragnhild TH.; Smith, Stuart (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)

Background and aims Intensification of savannah land-use is predicted to negatively influence soil biodiversity and functioning such as litter decomposition by detritivores. Loss of macrodetritivores, particularly termites, ...
