Abstract
Ants are the most widespread social insects. Many species of ants influence a range of soil properties when building their nests in soil. The paper discusses the effects of ants on soil biological activity (nitrogen fixation, denitrification), as well as on biomass and the diversity of microorganisms. In many cases, these processes were more active in anthills. Changes in soil pH caused by nest-building activity of ants were also. There were no patterns in the distribution of pH values. Specific differences between microbial complexes of anthills and corresponding reference soils were revealed.
