Description

Explore the complex chemical and biological processes of unique soil environments with Biogeochemistry of Serpentine Soils. This specialized text examines how parent materials influence ecosystem functions, environmental quality, and human health. Serpentine soils present a distinct set of challenges and characteristics, including high concentrations of elements like Magnesium (Mg), Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co), and Manganese (Mn). This book provides a detailed look at the ecological and environmental risks associated with high levels of geogenic heavy metals. It covers the specific nutrient profiles of these soils, such as low concentrations of Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K), alongside low Ca/Mg ratios. Readers will gain insight into the unique flora and unstable landscapes created by ultramafics and hydrothermally altered ultramafics. This resource is an essential addition for professionals and students studying soil science, environmental risks, and specialized plant ecology.

Key Features

Analyze the chemical composition of serpentine soils, including high levels of Mg, Fe, Cr, Ni, Co, and Mn.

Understand the environmental risks posed by geogenic heavy metals and their impact on ecosystem health.

Examine nutrient deficiencies common in these environments, specifically low concentrations of P and K.

Study the relationship between low Ca/Mg ratios and the development of unique flora in serpentine landscapes.

Learn about the formation of these soils from ultramafics and hydrothermally altered ultramafics.
