Blue and Green: A 25-year study conducted by the Geological Society of America has concluded that ants are one of the most powerful biological agents of mineral decay, offering an insight into accelerated methods of carbon dioxide (CO2) storing, or sequestration.
The investigation has specifically centred on how the insects interact with minerals, extracting what they need and thus processing the captured resource.
By understanding the geo-biology behind ant-mineral interactions, the team hope to geoengineer...
