Title
Soil Landscapes of Canada version 3.2
Abstract

SLC version 3.2 is the latest revision of the Soil Landscapes of Canada, which was developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to provide information about the country's agricultural soils at the provincial and national levels. SLC v3.2 replaces SLC v3.1.1.

Updates in SLC version 3.2 include:

  • Addition of a new Landform Table (LFT) and Landform Segmentation Tables (LST), showing the relationship of soil components to landscape positions in each landform.
  • Updates and enhanced quality control of soil attributes to Soil Component Table, Soil Name Table and Soil Layer Tables.
  • Enhancements to "border" SLC polygon records in the Component Table.
  • Enhanced metadata files.
  • The full list of updates is found here.

SLC v3.2 provides soil information at a scale of 1:1 million for the major agricultural regions of Canada. It retains the linkage to the national Ecological Stratification System for Canada that was established in SLC v2.2.

SLC v3.2 has the same GIS polygon coverage as SLC v3.0 , v3.1 and v3.1.1, representing the major agricultural regions of Canada. The SLC v3.2 component information is restricted primarily to the agricultural areas of Canada, although Alberta, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have component, soil name and soil layer data for the entire province (i.e. beyond the agricultural areas).

The latest complete coverage of Canada (i.e. including areas outside the agricultural regions of the country) is SLC v2.2.
