Soil types that belong to this category are sometimes called climate soil types or plant soil types. Intrazonal soils, on the other hand, are soils that are more strongly influenced by local factors such as parent material and topography than by climatic and biological factors, and are often distributed in islands within the distribution area of ​​zonal soils. …
