英文摘要	Despite the importance of termites in the structure and function of savanna ecosystems, long-term studies that examine the effects of several disturbance factors on termite communities are limited constraining our understanding of determinants of termite assemblages in savanna. We determined termite assemblages in six random plots (100 m x 2 m) each established on no fire, low fire, and moderate fire frequency sites in a communal area and a commercial cattle-wildlife ranch in a semi-arid savanna, southwest Zimbabwe. Environmental variables i.e., soil and plant variables were also determined in the termite sampling sites. Relationships of land use, fire, and their interaction to (i) termite assemblage and (ii) soil and plant variables were tested using a general linear model (GLM). Relationships between termite assemblages and soil and plant variables were explored using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). Nineteen termite species from three sub-families were present, dominated by Macrotermitinae. Termite species richness and abundance were greater by a factor of up to 2.8 in the ranch than in the communal area. Termite abundance and species richness only differed with fire frequency in the ranch, being greater at low fire frequency than at moderate fire frequency or no fire. Although some relationships were observed between the environmental variables and the composition of termite assemblages, the lack of differences in environmental variables between land uses and fire frequencies suggested that other factors may better explain the patterns in termite assemblages in this savanna.
