Summary The genetic soils of Arctic Alaska can be arranged in a drainage catena. The mature soils on well‐drained sites are Arctic Brown and related soils. The Tundra profile is an imperfectly‐ to poorly‐drained catenamember. The Bogs, with permafrost, occupy many of the broad, flat, very wet areas....
