The Canadian land classification system is unique to Canada and secern Canada ’s ground into ten dissimilar types , or orders . Orders are further subdivided into not bad grouping , subgroup , families and series . The grease are divided into rules of order by factors such as table salt content , amount of clay , amount of constitutive material , acidity and the comportment of permafrost .

Brunisolic

This order of dirt is largely vague , and lacks properties that stick out out enough to put it into any other class . It is in general brownish soil and occurs in the first place in a bombastic band bunk from the southerly Yukon Territory to southerly Ontario .

Chernozemic

This character of land is predominant in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan . It is a form of soil that develop in grassland , and moderate significant levels of constitutional matter from the roots of grass . It is by and large benighted in color .

Cryosolic

This soil ’s primary characteristic is the presence of permafrost . It is the primary soil type in the tundra of the Nunavut and Northwest Territories , and is also present in the northerly Yukon Territory .

Gleysolic

This sticky soil is develop by never-ending saturation over time . It is relatively rarified in Canada , but exists near the Great Lakes and in the southern Northwest Territories . It has a distinct grey - dispirited - green coloring , which transforms to ruby - yellow when display to air .

Luvisolic

This soil has a significant presence in northern Alberta and the meat of British Columbia . It more often than not develops in deciduous forests and contains silicate clay . It is derive in orotund part from aqueous rock .

Organic

As implied by its name , organic soil take large accumulations of organic matter . It occurs in water - saturated experimental condition and Boreal timberland , chiefly in northerly Ontario .

Podzolic

This parliamentary law of territory generally occurs in cone-bearing forests , and is in large part infer from pyrogenous ( volcanic ) rock . It is present in British Columbia and is the primary soil case in Quebec and other eastern provinces .

Regosolic

Regosolic soil is like to brunisolic soil in that it has indistinct characteristic ; however , it is more unstable than brunisolic filth and often is present in areas with gumption dune or slope . It occurs primarily in easterly Ontario and northeasterly Alberta .

Solonetzic

Solonetzic territory is plentiful in cadaver and has gamey levels of Na . It go on in drying agent climates , often in grasslands . It is , however , relatively rare , almost exclusively present in small air pocket in southerly Alberta and Saskatchewan .

Vertisolic

High in mud and present in southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan , this soil is distinguishable for its inclination to break up . Repeated fluctuation in water content make the soil to swell and shrink , run to mysterious fissures .
