Here I use a greenhouse reciprocal-transplant experiment to compile baseline data for describing patterns of serpentine local adaptation in Quercus ilex subsp. ballota (Holm Oak). I also tested the role of mycorrhizal fungi on the establishment and growth of seedlings on serpentine and non-serpentine soil. Non-serpentine seedlings grew more than serpentine seedlings in all treatments. Plants grew more on non-serpentine soil and mycorrhizal fungi positively influenced seedling growth. I did not find evidence of better seedling performance in their home environment, suggesting the absence of local adaptation. However, I document significant growth differences between serpentine and non-serpentine seedlings, which suggest physiological differences between seedlings from these two soil origins.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">sp5</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">doi: 10.1656/045.016.0524doi: 10.1656/045.016.0524The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Eagle Hill Institute</style></notes></record></records></xml>
