Abstract

Abstract:

The division of termite caste involves ontogeny, anatomical structure, external morphology, behavior, group function and other factors. These factors and the contradict perspectives of different authors cause the diverse definitions of caste. In this review, we introduced the types of termite moult, summarized the definition of termite caste and the pathways of termite postembryonic development. Moreover, problems relating with termite caste and the postembryonic development were also discussed.

Key words: aged-biochar, rice-wheat rotation system, CH₄, N₂O, global warming potential, greenhouse gas intensity.
