Abstract

The publication, Prairie Agricultural Landscapes (PAL) – A Land Resource Review, includes a unique regional analysis of the array of resource assessments performed on the Prairie region over the 1980s and 1990s.

In the PAL study, areas with similar agricultural practices and land uses were grouped together. Then the soil and landscape types found within each group were characterized. This approach identified the range of landscapes which can support a given set of farming practices. These Land Practices Groups were defined using a statistical analysis of the 1996 Census of Agriculture compiled by Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) polygons. Distinctive soil landscape types from the SLC data were developed and the proportions of these landscapes in each Land Practices Group were determined. The combination of soils and land use helped relate the specific SLC polygon to issues described in the State of Land and Water Resources section of the report. It is these polygons that form the basis of the Land Practices Groups and their derived Major Land Practice Groups as well.
