Nest mounds of wood ants the Formica rufa group are built using conifer needles, small branches, other plant materials and soil. Conifer needles contain several mono sesquiterpenes. Thus, ant nests may act as terpene hotspots in forest soils. Some terpenes show antifungal activity thus cause small-scale heterogeneity fungal biomass. We compared concentrations biomass (ergosterol concentration) ...
