Ultramafic Alteration and the Cooling of Earth and Mars

open access: yes
This thesis deals with the influence of `ultramafic' rocks over the climate of planets. Ultramafic rocks, rich in Mg and Fe, are the most common rocks on Earth but exist primarily in the mantle and rarely outcrop on the surface.

Metal content in insects associated with ultramafic and non-ultramafic sites in the Scottish Highlands

open access: yesEcological Entomology, 1999
Summary 1. Concentrations of magnesium, manganese, chromium, and cadmium were measured in Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, and Hymenoptera captured at ultramafic and non‐ultramafic sites in the Highlands of Scotland. 2.

Plant–pollinator interactions in ultramafic and non-ultramafic environments in New Caledonia

open access: yesBotany Letters, 2023
Edaphic conditions operate major environmental filtering on plant assemblages and their community structure. Soils derived from ultramafic outcrops (i.e.

Eoarchean ultramafic rocks represent crustal cumulates: A case study of the Narssaq ultramafic body, southern West Greenland

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters
Several ultramafic enclaves found within the Eoarchean Itsaq Gneiss Complex (IGC) in southern West Greenland have previously been interpreted as representing mantle relicts.

Nature of Ultramafics

2007
The earth is divided into three layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core. There are two principle regions within the crust: continents and ocean basins. The rocks that make up these layers differ from one another in chemical composition and density.

Potassium in ultramafic rocks

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1953
Abstract Quantitative spectrochemical determinations of potassium in 50 specimens of ultramafic rock confirm the preliminary observation ( Ahrens , Pinson and Kearns , 1952) that the abundance of potassium in this rock type is much lower than has usually been assumed.

Growth and Reproduction of Earthworms in Ultramafic Soils

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2007
Ultramafic soils are characterized by high concentrations of heavy metals of natural origin-such as chromium, cobalt, manganese, and nickel-as well as a shortage of primary nutrients. This can result in extremely disadvantageous living conditions for all soil-dwelling organisms.
