Soil Landscapes of Canada version 3.2

The second edition of SLC is the latest version of Canada's soil landscape developed by the Agriculture and Food Department of the Canadian Agriculture Department to provide information on national agricultural soil at the state and country level. SLC v 3.2 replaces SLC v 3.1.1.

Add a new topographic map (LFT) and topography segmentation table (LST) to display the relationship between soil composition and landscape position of each terrain.

Soil composition table for soil property update and enhanced quality control, soil name table and soil stratification table

SLC v 3.2 provides 1 million soil information in major Canadian agricultural areas. It holds a link to the Canadian national ecological stratification system established in SLC v 2.2

SLC v3.2 has the same GIS polygon coverage as SLC v3.0, v3.1, and v3.1.1, representing Canada's major agricultural areas. Alberta, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have ingredients, soil name and soil layer data of the whole state (ie outside the farmland), but the ingredient information of SLC v 3.2 is mainly limited to Canadian agricultural areas It is done.

The latest Canadian complete report (including areas outside the country's agricultural area) is SLC v 2.2.

The original version of version 3.0 of 2005 provided complete soil data of 4,396 polygons. The main goal is to provide soil data for all the important agricultural areas in Canada. Several provinces, especially Ontario and British Columbia, have identified several additional agricultural areas and new soil attribute data were provided in subsequent editions. SLC versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.1.1, and 3.2 have the same GIS polygon coverage as Canada's agricultural area, but as shown in Table 1, the number of polygons with complete soil attribute file data is different .

Soil association is a group of soils that are geographically relevant and are found in a repeating pattern characteristic of the landscape. They are summarized in a single map unit of common soil maps. The soil designated by this association is the soil that exists (if any) in rare soil associations. Sometimes half of the map units contain so-called small amounts of soil. The soil covering the majority of the association's land area is first named, followed by the most common soil. The Soil Association map provides ideas on what landscapes are to soil scientists. Please do not use for detailed land use plan. (See the relevant section: Soil investigation.)

El Paso County Association. Soil association is a landscape with its own soil ratio pattern. It usually consists of one or more major soils and at least one small soil and is named after the main soil. Some association soils may appear in different associations, but the patterns are different. A map showing soil association is useful when you want to know the soil of the county, want to compare various parts of the county, or want to know a wide place suitable for a particular type of agriculture. Or other land use. Such a map can also be used as a general guide for watershed and wildlife management, project planning, entertainment facilities and community development.
