Release of potassium from rock powder by the yeast Torulaspora globosa
The alteration of minerals in rocks and the availability of elements for plant nutrition require long periods of time, and microorganisms are thought to induce the release of potassium and phosphate from rocks.

The lithospheric mantle and lower crust-mantle relationships under Scotland: a xenolithic perspective [PDF]
In the British Isles the majority of volcanic rocks containing upper mantle and lower crustal xenoliths occur in Scotland. Most of the occurrences are of Carboniferous–Permian age.
