Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium (NPK) Content of Termite Mound Soils across Guinea and Sudan Savannah Zones: Implications for Soil Fertility in Bauchi State, Nigeria

Hannatu Akanang, Abubakar Habib Idris, Dedah John & Jamila Ibrahim Shekarau · South Asian Research Journal of Natural Products · 2026

Termite mounds are ecologically important nutrient repositories in tropical African ecosystems, yet their specific contributions to nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) availability across contrasting ecological zones of Nigeria remain understudied. This study determin...
