In dry ecosystems, the supply of soil moisture can be enhanced by the formation of macropores which are holes dug into the soil by invrtebrates (i.e. ants, beetles, termites etc.). Macropores are large soil pores, usually between aggregates, that are generally greater than 0.08 mm in diameter. Macropores drain freely by gravity and allow easy movement of water and air. They provide habitat for soil organisms and plant roots can grow into them.
