In order to submit publications or edit content (articles), registration and logging-in is a requirement. All articles on the website can be edited and saved and new content can be added. Some sections are easily edited and added by all users, while other sections will go through peer-review before changes are published online. It is also possible to comment on each others texts. This will hopefully generate vast amounts of reliable knowledge on serpentine ecology around the globe by a principle of ‘integrative reflective and self-corrective’ authoring by a multitude of different experts from different backgrounds/disciplines. This database is live, but is a work in progress and therefore needs to be filled with information. You can upload and list your own papers, articles and theses, of which already some 200 are posted. The main aim is to provide an extensive, searchable, online resource about serpentine localities around the globe. At the moment about 500 localities in 6 continents and 38 countries are listed. We would like to invite you to make a write-up of one locality that you are familiar/knowledgeable about and post it to us at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

In a later stage it will be possible to edit and add to these entries.
