ABSTRACT
The Canadian system is a hierarchical one in which the classes are conceptual,
based upon the generalization of properties of real bodies of soil. Taxa are
defined on the basis of observable and measurable soil properties that reflect
processes of soil genesis and environmental factors. The development of the
system has progressed with the increasing knowledge of the soils of Canada
obtained through pedological surveys carried out over an 80-year period. The
system has been influenced strongly by concepts developed in other countries,
but some aspects are uniquely Canadian. The system is imperfect because it is
based on a limited knowledge of the vast population of soils in the country.
However, the system does make it possible to assign soils throughout Canada
to taxa at various levels of generalization and to organize the knowledge of soils
in such a way that relationships between factors of the environment and soil
development can be seen. It is possible to define the kinds of soils that occur
within units on soil maps, and to provide a basis for evaluating mapped areas of
soil for a variety of potential uses.
