This symposium will review the latest interpretations and models of the ethology and ecology of morphologically intricate biogenic structures.

Soil ecosystem engineers produce biogenic structures (casts, mounds, galleries) that strongly affect soil processes.

As ecosystem engineers, ants can mediate soil processes and functions by producing biogenic structures.

In addition, we show that the spatial organisation of surface biogenic structures fluctuates with seasons.

Sampling was conducted along a transect, at regular intervals proportional to the size of the biogenic structure.

These correlations indicate that the biogenic structure produced by P. laminata significantly influences soil N dynamics, and suggest that the soil micro-environment associated with large aggregates promotes microbial processes related to N dynamics, especially N2O production.
