“…The literature is rich in descriptions of new extraction methods and improvements brought to them by subsequent users. Many overviews describing these methods in a more or less detailed way are also available (Wallwork 1970, Southwood 1978: chapter 5, Freckmann et al 1986, Edwards 1991, Kaczmarek 1993, Koehler 1993, Bater 1996, Griffiths 1996, New 1998: chapter 3). Surprisingly, no comparative data are given in any of these papers (except in Edwards 1991) and this lack of information deprives the reader of any criterion likely to guide him/her in choosing an appropriate extraction technique.…”

“…Rates of carbon dioxide production by decomposer organisms can be used as an index of rates of decomposition (Freckman, Cromack & Wallwork, 1986). This concept has been used by a number of workers to assess the contribution of microorganisms to the decomposition of organic matter in soils.…”

Wiley-Blackwell is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve and extend access to Journal of Biogeography.Abstract. Because Australian savannas generally occur on redistribution of termite mound materials is a process soils that are nutrient deficient, their productivity is depen-which can supply the infertile surface soil with a nutrient dent upon the rapid recycling of nutrients locked up in the enriched soil amendment plant biomass. Soil microorganisms play a major role in the Fire is also an active agent in nutrient cycling in some decomposition of organic matter and cycling of nutrients in savanna systems. The ecological advantage of this mechasavannas, but their activity is restricted to the wet season.nism of nutrient cycling is maintained only if losses by Termites are widespread in the dry tropics of the world volatilization and atmospheric dispersion are balanced by and exert a significant effect on nutrient cycling. The other inputs. results of studies in the Townsville region of north Queensland suggest that termites might be responsible for up to
