• Ant-induced soil modification and its effect on plant below-ground biomass (2005, result): “However, in another study by Wagner et al. (2004), in an analysis of mounds of various ages, there was no evidence that colonies of Pogonomyrmex barbatus prefer more fertile soils during the establishment phase.”
• Role of Arthropods in Maintaining Soil Fertility (2013, background): “The concentrations of available N were 600%–800%, and those of PO4-P 200%–300%, higher in nests of the harvester ant, Pogonomyrmex barbatus (Smith), than in surrounding soil; organic matter content also was 25%–35% higher in the ant-modified soil [194].”
