The tutor introduces the third major forest soil type in Canada.

Brunisols are found from BC to Quebec.  They often occur north of luvisolic or podzolic regions.

Brunisols represent a transitional phase from parent material to soil.  They lie along the tree line, where soil development is very slow due to the cool, dry conditions. They develop atop either igneous rocks or sandy parent material.  Some pockets from the latter context are found in southern Ontario and Quebec.  There, perhaps, the sandiness of the ground slows soil development.

Podzols, luvisols (see my posts here and here), and brunisols are the three chief forest soils found in Canada. I have yet to cover the grassland soils, the permafrost soils, and the peat bogs. Look for them in coming posts:)
