Alberta Agriculture and Forestry’s Soil Information Viewer can help with an understanding of soils in the province.
“The viewer accesses soil information stored in database tables called the Agricultural Regions of Alberta Soil Inventory Database,” said David Speiss, geographical information systems engineer.
The online tool looks at the ability of Alberta soils to grow grains crops, allows comparisons between different land in different areas, gives information on soil properties, and helps with making environmental farm plans, he said.
The database can be found at soilinformation.alberta.ca.
