Serpentine Ecology: Wacky soils build glorious places
 |
In the Klamath-Siskiyous, we have significant “wacky soils”, serpentine/ultramafic soils that derive from mantle rocks and often support rare plants. Serpentine ecology describes the interaction between these soils and plants and animals. Kristi Mergenthaler is a botanist, the stewardship director of Southern Oregon Land Conservancy, and a long-term volunteer with the Siskiyou Chapter Native Plant Society of Oregon. She will highlight some of the special places and plants in Oregon’s portion of the Klamath-Siskiyous and lead a broad discussion.
