Termite

Through their mound-building activities, termites inevitably cause movement of substantial amounts of soil particles within and above the soil surface. Their role in soil nutrient availability and cycling at various spatial and temporal scales is significant.

Termites have been used as a biological pointer to assess soil quality and fertility. This is because they play a key part in soil transportation, methanogenesis, nitrogen fixation, acetogenesis, and nutrient circulation, thus improving the soil water content, pH, porosity, and organic carbon content.
