Subgrade serpentine substrates are exceptionally difficult to revegetate due to multiple limitations including low N, P, and K, low Ca:Mg molar ratios, high levels of heavy metals including Ni, Cr, and Co, low organic matter, low CEC, and low water holding capacity. To examine the influence of plant origin on the success of the revegetation of serpentine substrates, granite and serpentine accessions ofAchillea millefoliumwere grown on subgrade serpentine substrate amended with yard waste compost, slow-release NPK fertilizer, and/or CaSO4· 2H2O (gypsum). The goals of this study were to: (1) identify the substrate amendment combination that maximized establishment ofA. millefoliumon serpentine substrate, (2) compare seedling establishment, survival, and growth of the serpentine and graniteA. millefoliumaccessions in order to determine if a serpentine edaphic ecotype ofA. millefoliumexists and if this ecotype is superior to the granite accession for the establishment of vegetation on serpentine substrate and (3) if a serpentine edaphic ecotype ofA. millefoliumdoes exist, what physiological features with respect to mineral nutrition convey a higher tolerance of serpentine for this ecotype than the nonserpentine ecotype. Seedling establishment, survival, and growth were greatest forA. millefoliumwhen the subgrade serpentine substrate was amended with 30% (v/v) compost and 220 mg kg substrate−1each of N, P, and K. The serpentineA. millefoliumaccession displayed a greater tolerance of the subgrade serpentine substrate, serpentine topsoil, and the amended subgrade serpentine substrate than the granite accession. Higher capacity of the serpentineA. millefoliumaccession for selective Ca translocation from roots to the shoot resulted in a significantly higher shoot Ca:Mg molar ratio than the granite accession and appeared to be the most important physiological feature conveying greater tolerance of the serpentine accession for serpentine substrates.
