- Abstract
Peridotite-serpentine which is composed of ferro-magnesium silicate formed the lavas erupted from the mid-oceanic ridge spread on the ocean floor. After that the serpentine-peridotite mass was obducted by the tectonic movement occurred along the subduction zone that are seen along the orogenic belt. Peridotite-serpentine mass is one of the very low weathered rocks due to its silicate composition. During the it's weathering process abundant clay releases with white colour and its pH reach as high as 9. Cation exchangeable capacity (CEC) of the low weathered serpentine is very low and the depth of solum horizon is thin. Therefore plant nutrition features are weak. More are located under forest cover or some form of the field of desertification of our country. The colour of well decomposed serpentine in the rock is brown or red. Soil texture, structure and pH ranges are suitable for the cultivation of plant. Chemical and physical analyses of the serpentine soil samples were determined at the Soil Laboratory of Soil Science and Plant Nutriment Department of Akdeniz University. According to analysis, good weathered serpentine parent material contains enough plant nutriments; while low and/or unweathered serpentine has low plant nutrient due to plant nutrient are not released.
