Abstract
► Mound abundance ranges 10-14 ha−1 in the dryland ecosystems of Ethiopia. ► Estimated mound soil masses ranges 13.5 and 58.9 t ha−1. ► Termite mounds constitute 27-53 kg ha−1 of total N and 186.3-306 kg ha−1 of OC. ► Use of mound material as a soil amendment shows great potential for improving chemical soil fertility.
