摘　　要：It was long accepted that the microgranular structure of many Ferralsols was mainly related to physicochemical processes and to their mineralogical composition. It now appears, however, that this microgranular structure originates from the burrowing activity of termites and ants. Given its importance for the physical properties of Ferralsols, it will be necessary to study the different termite and ant species responsible for this microgranular structure and the characteristics of the burrowing activity associated with species.
