| When would the azonal steppe, covering now only some of the well-drained south-facing slopes and dry basins, change into a zonal steppe, covering most of Alaska and the Yukon? |
| Latitudinal zonal divisions can be seen on plains, and azonal divisions in mountainous areas. |
| There are also azonal saline wetlands, wetlands, gypsum and limestone containing soil types in low altitude zones. |
| Therefore, when estimating the SOC pool in uplands, both administrative and soil type scales should be considered in the sampling design, especially for azonal soil. |
| In central Alaska and the Yukon Territory, azonal dry steppe is growing now only in a few warm basins and on well-drained south-facing slopes. |
| Plants adapt physiologically or anatomically to the specific gas budget on mofette fields, forming a typical, often azonal, mofette vegetation. |
