摘要: Peatlands have experienced large scale changes due to extensive deforestation for logging, conversion agro-industrial plantations, and frequent peat fires. The adverse effects of fires can lead long-term impacts on invertebrate biodiversity in the peatland ecosystem. Although impact fire termite diversity tropical grasslands savannas has been focus increased attention recent years, little is known about assemblages. In this review, we present available information human use peatlands assemblages Indo-Malayan region. By synthesizing currently studies conducted temperate savanna systems, highlight need relationship between termites fire-impacted peatlands. We consider ecological biological scenarios that are likely shape assemblages, discuss traits surviving genera (i.e., Coptotermes, Schedorhinotermes, Parrhinotermes) may contribute their success harsh post-fire environment (e.g., colony fusion, breeding structure, subsidiary nests, migration). Knowledge these strategies crucial understanding evolutionary adaptation process termites. This review also aims stimulate further research using ecosystem services restore fertility degraded
