This article explores the ecological and environmental impact of termites on the biosphere,
examining their roles in nutrient cycling, soil formation, and carbon storage. The analysis
considers both the beneficial and harmful effects of termites in various ecosystems, detailing
how their interactions influence biodiversity, plant growth, and atmospheric chemistry.
Through a literature review, empirical observations, and a critical discussion, this paper aims
to provide insights into termites' roles in maintaining ecosystem stability and implications for
climate
