Many of us have enjoyed his books as they increased our depth of understanding for the botany in the Northwest. His expertise was on the adaptation of plants to the landforms they establish their roots in. He will be missed by many. https://uwpressblog.com/2016/06/02/in-memoriam-arthur-art-r-kruckeberg/

The Kreukeburg Gardens in Shoreline, one of his legacies, is well worth a visit.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.--E.Abbey

That is his legacy, the Serpintine soil expert Natural History of Puget Sound is a must read I learned so much from the book and from his monographs in 101 wildflower hikes Kruckeberg Gardens in Shoreline is , indeed , a treasure. I visited it once on a very magical just a dust of snow day. Vale professor and thank yo for your grace

Krukenberg discusses the serpentine soil and its effect on plants at length in his book Geology and Plant Life-The Effects of Landforms and Rock Types on Plants. It holds a place in my library but a lucky person can get their copy here. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=18706346785&searchurl=sts%3Dt%26tn%3Dgeology%2520and%2520plant%2520life%26sortby%3D17

My husband had him as a professor for several classes at the UW while getting a degree in Botany. He helped us develop a love of the unique plants of the serpentine areas. But he also was instrumental in making Perry Creek a research natural area. We celebrated his life last week by hiking Perry Creek and botanizing the ferns and plants. He lived a long productive life. Perry Creek, Washington, a Fern-Watcher's Eldorado
