Very poorly drained. The potential for surface runoff is negligible to low. Permeability is moderate or moderately slow. Where cleared and drained, the soil is used for growing pasture, some general farm crops and some specialty crops. The wettest areas contain hydrophytic vegetation which often consists of sedges and cattails.
Woodlands commonly consist of elm, soft maple, willow, and shrubs tolerant of wet sites.
The soil is moderately extensive. Onondaga County, New York, 1903. Original classification placed Warners in the great group Haplaquolls. Competing series may change as similar soils are reclassified. The depth to marl and other friable material impregnated with carbonates has been made deeper than 16 inches to avoid overlap with Calciaquolls classification.
