The textbook provides supplementary materials that are specific to regions in Canada, or may be of specific interest beyond what might be considered introductory soil science material. Importantly, the textbook also is intended to introduce students to the Canadian System of Soil Classification by providing examples from across the length and breadth of the world's second largest country, and to the Canadian Society of Soil Science, whose members share a common passion for soil science and are keen to share and instill this passion with students across Canada."--Publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0) except where specifically noted Subject Soil science -- Canada Soil science -- Study and teaching -- Canada Soils -- Canada -- Classification Soil science Soil science -- Study and teaching Soils Canada Genre/Form Electronic books Classification Form Electronic book Author Krzic, Maja, editor Walley, Frances L., editor Diochon, Amanda, editor Paré, Maxime C., editor Farrell, Richard E., editor Canadian Society of Soil Science, issuing body.
