 serpentine on Encyclopedia.com
Serpentine can be found in igneous rock, but it is more often a secondary mineral, usually resulting from the alteration of minerals or rocks containing magnesium, and it occurs very widely throughout the world, mainly as a product of metamorphism in rocks rich in olivine, pyroxene and amphibole.
Serpentine rocks and basalts in the central zone of the Appalachian Mts of the eastern United States represent sutures of old oceanic crust, known as ophiolites, crushed between colliding continents.

 The Trail Companion -- December 97/January 98
Serpentine is a nictamorphic rock that usually parallels fault zones; it fractures, weathers, and erodes to produce a typically thin layer of soil that is "nutrient poor".
Not only is serpentine soil low in two of the three main nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium), but it is also high in chromium, magnesium, and nickel, which are "heavy" metals.
Of the few plants that thrive in serpentine grassland, three in particular are important for a particular butterfly.

 EW - Aquatic & Marginal Vegetation of Lake Serpentine North
The peat lakes of the Waikato Region are concentrated around the Waikato, Hamilton and Waipa Districts, where their association with peat formations has had a marked effect on their physical, chemical and biological nature.
The presence and composition of submerged vegetation within a lake is influenced by a number of interacting factors including water clarity, introduction of exotic species, competition by marginal vegetation, exposure and season.
A survey of the marginal and aquatic vegetation of the Waipa peat lakes was undertaken in the early 1990s where the presence of native submerged vegetation was noted in several lakes (Champion et al., 1993).

 Lake County Winegrape Growers - High Magnesium Soils
Few Lake County vineyards are planted on true serpentine soils (which are shallow soils containing serpentine minerals over serpentine rock), but many are on material at least partly derived from serpentine parent materials and therefore contain high Mg.
In Lake County high Mg soils are found in some of the valley soils as well in some alluvial soils in elevated landscape positions.
Soils not influenced by serpentine minerals usually have substantially more exchangeable Ca than Mg, however it is not necessary, nor is it economically feasible, to adjust the entire soil Ca:Mg level to 2:1 or above.
