Abstract

The article offers information on the genesis, distribution, and classification of brunisolic soils in Canada. It says that brunisols are formed under forest cover and have a wide range of physical and chemical properties. It states that brunisols co-exist on landscapes with cryosols in a discontinuous permafrost and form a continuum of soil development with podzolic soils in humid regions. Moreover, sombric and melanic brusinols are used as agricultural soils in British Columbia and Ontario.
