The Canadian System of Soil Classification by Canadian Agricultural Services Coordinating Committee. Soil Classification Working Group,National Research Council Canada,Canada. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Research Branch Pdf
This treatise begins with an introduction on the history of soil classification in Canada and discussion of the rationale for soil taxonomy. It then defines such terms as soil, pedon, and soil horizons before outlining the classification system along with identification keys. Chapters 4 through 13 describe the characteristics of the various soil orders and include information on distinguishing soils of one order from soils of other orders. Chapter 14 outlines criteria & guidelines used in differentiating classes in soil families and soil series categories. Chapter 15 provides information on distinguishing soil phases. Chapter 16 correlates Canadian soil taxonomy with other classification systems. Chapter 17 summarizes the main terminology used to describe soils at the landscape and pedon scales. The final chapter provides a system of landform classification for soil mapping.
The Canadian System of Soil Classification by Canadian Agricultural Services Coordinating Committee. Expert Committee on Soil Survey Pdf
Revised edition of 1978 publication, with major revisions on both the Gleysolic and Organic orders, and minor revisions of the Podzolic order. Soils are classified at the order, great group, and subgroup levels tabulatedalphabetically according to the names of the orders. For each subgroup theabbreviation of the name is appended. Definitons of soil as opposed tononsoil and of the unit of soil being classified, plus basic definitions ofsoil horizons are included. Also included are correlations of Canadian soiltaxonomy with other systems, terminology for describing soils, and landformclassifications.

Soils of Prince Edward Island by J. I. MacDougall,C. Veer,F. Wilson,Canada. Agriculture Canada. Research Branch Pdf
Report on the soils of Prince Edward Island, beginning with a discussion of the geographical setting of the soils, climate, geology, landforms, vegetation, and drainage. The second section discusses soil formation and classification, and explains mapping procedures, map preparation and symbolization. The section on land use includes present farming trends, farm and forest production, and capability ratings of the various soils to support agriculture and forestry based on soil-limiting factors. Nonagricultural land uses are briefly discussed, as are the classification, capability, and land use possibilities of organic soils. A glossary is included.
The Canadian System of Soil Classification, Third Edition by Soil Classification Working Group Staff Pdf
This revised publication replaces The Canadian System of Soil Classification (second edition) published in 1987. The changes incorporated in this current publication are based on the work of the Soil Classification Working Group (SCWG) formerly of the Expert Committee on Soil Survey, and continued by the Land Resource Division of the former Centre for Land and Biological Resources Research. Current taxonomic activities are part of the Land Resources Program of the Eastern Cereal and Oilseed Research Centre, Ottawa, Ontario. Highlights of the third edition: A tenth order, Vertisolic, has bee.
This work originated in a Symposium forming part of the programme for Section IV (Geological Sciences including Mineralogy) of the Royal Society of Canada, which met at Queen's University, Kingston, in 1960. Of wide scope, it demonstrates the progress now being made in Canada in the study of its vast area of soils. The papers of this Symposium are unique in that they present for the first time a combined picture of three aspects of soil science–the geological, the pedological (or agricultural), and the engineering (known as Soil Mechanics). The book serves, of course, mainly as an introduction to a large subject, but some more detailed papers give an idea of the depth as well as the wide range of soil studies in Canada today. The contents can be summarized as follows. First come seven papers on Pleistocene geology in Canada, followed by a study of muskeg (which forms half a million square miles of Canada's surface) and one of soil mineralogy. Four papers–one general and three regional–of pedological interest follow. Finally come four papers on soil mechanics: one relating agricultural and engineering soil studies; one discussing geology's influence on the siting and building of airports; a detailed account of the properties of Leda clay; and a general review of the soil problems facing the Canadian civil engineer.
