"Ants are changing the environment," said lead study author Ronald Dorn, from the Arizona State University in Tempe.
Certain ant species "weather" minerals in order to secrete calcium carbonate better known as limestone. The process traps and removes a tiny bit of carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere, Dorn said.
This ant limestone factory is a small-scale version of the massive planetary-cooling process that takes place in the oceans, known as carbon sequestration, 'Live Science' reported.
Can methane being released in to the atmosphere have any effect on these concerns? Could it cause the numbers to be "off"?
