In general, mounds were characterised by a degraded soil surface dominated by bare soil and coarse gravel, whilst adjacent non-mound (control) surfaces were characterised by an extensive cover of cryptogams (lichens and mosses).
Plant assays ruled out an effect of aluminum toxicity on seed germination and seedling development in termite mounds over control soil.
David Cone is, in a sense, a tyrant on the mound, wanting to control the games he pitches.
Comparing Pop.com to the ubiquitous MTV, Howard shoveled some hype on the spin control mound.
Both were grown separately in the greenhouse, in pots with 500 g of one of the three termite genera mound soil or control soil (that is, 4 soil levels) for a period of 80 days.

With Elvin Ramirez on the mound, struggling with his control, Alderson was asked about Ike Davis, who has become the subject of trade speculation as the season has wound down.
No difference in clay, silt or sand content was measured between the termite mound wall and the control soil.
The bed slope accelerates the process of stabilization of water head profiles and significantly controls the mound height.
Gaps were higher in herb cover, coarse woody debris density and volume as well as pit and mound micro topography than controls.
The C/N ratios were generally lower in the mounds than in the control soil (at 5 25 cm), but no significant differences were found for C/P ratios (except at 10 15 cm).
