Abstract: Picea glehnii is distributed widely on serpentine soils in northern Japan. Serpentine soil is characterised by the presence of heavy metals (Ni, Cr) and excessive Mg; these elements often suppress plant growth. We have examined the tolerance to serpentine soil and its effects on growth of P. glehnii, P. jezoensis (distributed in the same region) and P. abies (planted for timber production). The dry mass of each organ was not reduced in P. glehnii planted in serpentine soil contained nursery (serpentine nursery). In contrast, growth of P. jezoensis and P. abies was suppressed. Concentrations of Ni and Mg in needles and roots of P. glehnii planted in serpentine nursery were the lowest of the three species. Moreover, the photosynthetic rate of P. glehnii planted in the serpentine nursery was not reduced. P. glehnii has high capability to maintain low concentration of Ni, and ectomycorrhizal symbiosis may have a positive effect to excluding Ni. As a result, P. glehnii has a high tolerance against Ni toxicity, and its photosynthetic capacity is not suppressed by accumulation of Ni.
