Soil termites in a rainforest, a secondary forest and mixed-culture plantation sites in central Amazonia.

Soil termites have been studied in detail in a rain forest, a secondary forest and two agroforestry plantation sites at the Embrapa Amazonia Ocidental, Manaus-AM (Brasil), using soil (0 cm-5 cm) and litter samples taken at random within the study sites, using a soilsampler of 21 cm diameter. As results is presented a list of termite genus diversity, then compare termite biomass and individuals numbers in litter and in soil at the different sites, and discuss possible factors that determine termite distribution in the field.
