Abstrakt: SUMMARY The gley podzols of the west coast of South Island, New Zealand, typically exhibit permanent waterlogging extending from the surface to depths of 1-3 m. Their formation is explained by a continuation of processes which give rise to Peaty Podzols with thin iron pan (Ironpan Stagnopodzols; Placaquods). Iron pans initially formed within the upper B horizon are breached by acidic reducing waters and reform at a succession of lower levels down to 3 m or more below the surface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
