a Mineralogy of the serpentine soils from the SEP. Main minerals found with XRD were: lizardite (L), goethite (G), hematite (H), maghemite (M), diopside (D), enstatite (E), hercynite (Hc), ferrite spinel (Sp), clinochlore (C), stevensite (S), magnesio-hornblende (Mh), edenite (Ed), kaolinite (K), quartz (Q) and albite (A). b Major elements and main trace metals measured with XRF with their respective standard deviation per location. These 10 elements plus the carbon content (Additional file 1: Table S2) corresponded to 93–98% of the dry mass weight in all the locations sampled. CaO and Co are zoomed in the inset plots. The complete geochemical composition per location is presented in Additional file 1: Table S3
