Mycoecology on Serpentine Soil
Mycologia, 1969SUMMARY In a mycoecological survey made on serpentine and non-serpentine soils in the Cascade Mountains of Washington, a total of 279 species of macrofungi were collected during fall, 1963 and spring, 1964. Even though collecting was limited to one fall and one spring, serpentine soil areas were found to support a mycoflora different from that of non ...

Biosorption of Cobalt by Fungi From Serpentine Soil of Andaman
Bioresource Technology, 2006Fungi belonging to Aspergillus, Mortierella, Paecilomyces, Penicillium, Pythium, Rhizopus and Trichoderma, isolated from serpentine soil of Andaman (India) were screened for cobalt-resistance. Eleven out of total 38 isolated fungi which tolerated > 6.0 mM Co(II) were evaluated for cobalt biosorption using dried mycelial biomass. Maximum Co(II)-loading (

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
Serpentine minerals with high levels of geologic chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) and non-serpentine farmlands polluted by irrigation water causing high anthropogenic Cr and Ni levels are both found in Taiwan. Elevated levels of Cr and Ni in these soils are a concern due to their potential to promote cancer mortality in humans.

Mycorrhizal ecology on serpentine soils
Plant Ecology & Diversity, 2013Background: Serpentine ecosystems support different, often unique, plant communities; however, we know little about the soil organisms that associate with these ecosystems. Mycorrhizas, mutualistic symbioses between fungi and roots, are critical to nutrient cycling and energy exchange below ground.Aims: We address three hypotheses: H1, diversity of ...

Nickel in British Serpentine Soils
The Journal of Ecology, 1977SUMMARY The results of a survey of British serpentine soils are presented, with particular emphasis on nickel, although a range of other elements is considered. Nickel has been assayed as total concentration, by soil extractions and by bioassay using oat plants.

The Ecology of Serpentine Soils
1975Publisher Summary The chapter provides details of the chemistry of the minerals frequently present in ultramafic rocks, and discusses the ecology of serpentine soil. Serpentine is used by biologists to describe a group of ultramafic rocks and the soils derived from them.

Chromium Geochemistry of Serpentine Soils
International Geology Review, 2004Serpentine soils derived from the weathering of ultramafic rocks, mainly ophiolitic serpentinites, are typically characterized by Cr concentrations in excess of 200 mg kg-1, comparatively higher than non-serpentine soils. We review the chemistry of Cr in serpentine soils and their protoliths, focusing on serpentine soils collected from New Caledonia ...

Advances in the ecology of serpentine soils
Plant and Soil, 2007UltramaWc rocks (typically known as ‘serpentines’ in the botanical and ecological literature), and the soils derived from them, are widely distributed throughout the globe across all climatic zones. They produce specialised habitats with extreme edaphic conditions and frequently host unique plant communities and ‘islands’ of biodiversity with many ...

Distribution of heavy metals in serpentine soil
Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 1971Abstract It is known that an abnormally high nickel content in the serpentine soils, seriously affects the crops as a result of metal toxicity (1, 2). However, when it contains a high quantity of chromium comparable to that of nickel, no affect of the metal toxicity is seen in the crops (3, 4).
