Soil Development by Ecozone

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Soil Development by Ecozone” dataset contains tables that provide soil development information for components within the ecozone framework polygon. It provides soil development codes and their English and French-language descriptions as well as the percentage of the polygon that the component occupies. The soil development descriptions are based on the second edition of the Canadian System of Soil Classification (Agriculture Canada Expert Committee on Soil Survey, 1987).
