The Zonal soils of New York are members of the Gray‐Brown Podzolic, Brown Podzolic, and Podzol great soil groups. Each dominates the best‐drained sites of extensive areas, but each is associated locally with a complete catena controlled by groundwater relationships. In addition, Brown Forest soils occupy the best‐drained sites on some highly calcareous materials, and Alluvial soils occur on recent alluvium. Each of these is also associated with a complete catena.
