Soil Series Table – Publication 2

Soil Series Table – Publication 2 Saskatchewan Rangeland Ecosystems Publication 2 Soil Series Table Version 2 A project of the Saskatchewan Prairie Conservation Action Plan Jeff Thorpe Saskatchewan Research Council 2014 (revised) 1 Saskatchewan Rangeland Ecosystems Soil Series Table – Publication 2 This table is provided as a tool for identifying the closest equivalent range ecosite for a given soil series. Soils series are as described by the Saskatchewan Land Resource Unit of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. For explanation of the table’s development and application, see Sections 3.2 and 3.3.1 in Publication 1. Notes: For Sand, Sandy Loam, Loam, Clay, Gravelly, and Solonetzic Ecosites, the site would change to Thin on steep slopes (approx. >20%). For dune soils (e.g. Antelope, Vera, Edam), the site depends on topography. Level or gently undulating areas are Sand Ecosite; areas of moderate relief are Low Dunes Ecosite; areas of higher relief are High Dunes Ecosite ABBRE- VIATION SOIL NAME ECOSITE NOTES ATC Alert Calcareous Dark Brown Loam ATE Alert Eluviated Dark Brown Loam ATA Alert Orthic Dark Brown Loam ATO Alert Orthic Regosol Thin ATD Alert Rego Dark Brown Loam ANC Allan Calcareous Dark Brown Clay ANA Allan Orthic Dark Brown Clay AND Allan Rego Dark Brown Clay AVB Alluvium Brown Chernozemic Overflow AVGHS Alluvium carbonated and saline Gleysolic Saline Wet Meadow AVGHAS Alluvium carbonated and saline Gleysolic (till substrate) Saline Wet Meadow AVAHS Alluvium carbonated and/or saline Chernozemic Saline Overflow AVAH Alluvium carbonated Chernozemic Overflow AVWH Alluvium carbonated Regosol Overflow AVA Alluvium Chernozemic soils Overflow AVE Alluvium Dark Gray Chernozemic Overflow AVAG Alluvium Gleyed Chernozemic Subirrigated AVXG Alluvium Gleyed Regosol Subirrigated AVSG Alluvium Gleyed Solonetzic Subirrigated AVSAG Alluvium Gleyed Solonetzic(till substrate) Subirrigated AVG Alluvium Gleysolic Wet Meadow AVGR Alluvium Gleysolic(bedrock substrate) Wet Meadow AVGD Alluvium Gleysolic(gravel substrate) Wet Meadow AVGA Alluvium Gleysolic(till substrate) Wet Meadow AVW Alluvium Orthic and Cumulic Regosol Overflow AVWA Alluvium Orthic and Cumulic Regosol(till substrate) Overflow AVF Alluvium Orthic and Dark Gray Luvisol Overflow forest soils AVFD Alluvium Orthic and Dark Gray Luvisol(gravel substrate) Overflow forest soils AVAD Alluvium Orthic and Rego Chernozemic soils(gravel substrate) Overflow AVAA Alluvium Orthic and Rego Chernozemic soils(till substrate) Overflow AVI Alluvium Orthic and Rego Gleysol Wet Meadow AVH Alluvium Orthic Humic Gleysol Wet Meadow AVY Alluvium Orthic Humic Regosol Overflow 2 Saskatchewan Rangeland Ecosystems Soil Series Table – Publication 2 ABBRE- VIATION SOIL NAME ECOSITE NOTES AVX Alluvium Orthic Regosol Overflow AVGP Alluvium peaty Gleysolic Wet Meadow AVHP Alluvium peaty Orthic Humic Gleysol Wet Meadow AVAJ Alluvium saline and/or carbonated Chernozemic Saline Overflow AVAAJ Alluvium saline and/or carbonated Chernozemic soils(till substrate) Saline Overflow AVGJ Alluvium saline and/or carbonated Gleysolic Saline Wet Meadow AVGAJ Alluvium saline and/or carbonated Gleysolic(till substrate) Saline Wet Meadow AVWAJ Alluvium saline and/or carbonated Orthic and Cumulic Regosol Saline Overflow AVIJ Alluvium saline and/or carbonated Orthic and Rego Gleysol Saline Wet Meadow AVHAJ Alluvium saline and/or carbonated Orthic Humic Gley.
