mineralresters
Mineralresters are a group of plants that have evolved to thrive in environments with high levels of mineral content, such as serpentine soils. These soils are typically poor in essential nutrients like calcium and magnesium, and rich in toxic elements like nickel and chromium. Despite these challenges, mineralresters have adapted to extract and utilize these minerals, making them unique in the plant kingdom.
One of the most well-known examples of mineralresters is the California buckwheat, which grows on serpentine
Mineralresters play a crucial role in the ecology of serpentine soils, as they help to stabilize these
The study of mineralresters is an active area of research in plant biology and ecology. Scientists are
