The tutor continues about a topic of fascination for anyone connected with the land.  During tutoring, my students talk about recycling, but not about this – yet.

Yesterday’s post I began my reflections about soils in Canada, ending with some preliminary findings from soilsofcanada.ca. Today I’ll follow up with another important soil type in Canada:

Luvisols: Like the podzols (mentioned in yesterday’s post), these are forest soils. Unlike the podzols, however, the luvisols sit atop loam or clay-featured strata. Often, but not always, luvisols are neutral or alkaline.

Luvisols are commonly found in regions that are known for having good soil. The peninsula around Toronto is one example; the Peace River region is another. Luvisols also lie along the St John River, with a patch in the Annapolis Valley as well.

I’ll be sharing more about soil types in Canada in upcoming posts:)
