EFFECT OF TERMITES ON TREE TRUNKS IN MAIDUGURI, BORNO STATE
Abstract
Termites, as silent but impactful agents of ecosystem modification, significantly influence the health and structure of tree trunks in forest ecosystems. This study delves into the intricate relationship between termites and tree trunks, investigating the multifaceted effects termites have on the vitality, composition, and stability of these essential components of arboreal environments. The paper examines the mechanisms through which termites interact with tree trunks, elucidating their role in decomposition, nutrient cycling, and wood degradation. Furthermore, it explores how termite activity affects the physical and chemical properties of tree trunks, influencing their structural integrity and contributing to changes in the surrounding microenvironment. Each treatment were replicated three times and was laid in a randomized completely Aov (ANOVA). The result shows that termites affect tree trunks. All the rate of application has significant difference of (p
