Soil Landscapes of Canada Version 2.2 provides geo-referenced soil polygons linked to attribute tables. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada produced this dataset describing the spatial distribution of soils and landscapes across Canada. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-26.
Use Cases
- Map soil type distribution across Canada based on the polygon data.
- Analyze soil landscape characteristics based on the linked Component and Landscape tables.
- Model soil carbon layers based on the Carbon Layer Table.
- Conduct regional agricultural suitability assessments based on soil and landscape attributes.
Strengths
- Polygons are geo-referenced, enabling spatial analysis.
- Attribute data is linked across multiple tables (CMP, LAT, CLYR, DOM_SUB).
- The dataset covers the entire geography of Canada.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Freshness should be verified as the last update date is 2026-05-26.
