World’s oldest #TermiteMounds discovered in South Africa https://theconversation.com/worlds-oldest-termite-mounds-discovered-in-south-africa-and-theyve-been-storing-precious-carbon-for-thousands-of-years-230988
Calcareous termite mounds in #SouthAfrica are ancient carbon reservoirs https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004896972401903X
"the mounds have been accumulating organic matter and nutrients, including #carbon, for tens of thousands of years. This enrichment is one of the reasons that #Namaqualand’s famous #wildflowers are so prominent on the mounds in spring."

In an astonishing find, scientists have uncovered active termite mounds in South Africa that are 34,000 years old, making them the oldest ever discovered. These ancient mounds provide valuable insights into termite behaviour and ecosystem roles over millennia, revealing a remarkable continuity of termite activity through prehistoric times.
