intrazonal soil
Quick Summary
Intrazonal soils are a major soil group characterized by well-developed soil characteristics that are primarily determined by local factors, such as the parent material. These local factors override the more general soil-forming influences of climate and living organisms, which are dominant in zonal soils. Intrazonal soils are distinct from azonal soils, which have poorly developed characteristics.123
