Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Occurrence and cycling of trace elements in ultramafic soils and their impacts on human health: A critical review [PDF]
Environment International, 2019 The transformation of trace metals (TMs) in natural environmental systems has created significant concerns in recent decades. Ultramafic environments lead to potential risks to the agricultural products and, subsequently, to human health.

, 2013 One petrological approach to upper mantle studies is to determine which ultramafic rocks represent mantle material. Ultramafic rocks occur in a variety of field and petrographic associations: in recent reviews, Wyllie [1967b, 1968] outlined eleven petrographic associations, some with subdivisions.

Specific leaf area is lower on ultramafic than on neighbouring non-ultramafic soils [PDF]
Plant Ecology & Diversity, 2022 Specific leaf area (SLA) is a core trait within the leaf economic spectrum that describes differences in plant performance and productivity. Research on the sources of variation in the leaf economic spectrum and SLA has primarily focused on climate. Much
