Serpentine soils support a unique flora, and this soil/flora association is an important diagnostic tool for scientists. This book is a comprehensive, in-depth study of this association. The author discusses serpentne soils in relation to tectonics, fauna and especially the very unusual physiology of the associated flora. The complex interrelations of all these factors are both carefully analyzed and synthesized. This book should be of interest to those interested in botany, geology, geochemistry and soil science.
