Spotlight on the Canadian Soil Information System V.3 E-mail
Written by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada   
10 March 2005
CanSIS provides access to state of the art GIS facilities, as well as database management and custom mapping services for the Canadian Land Resource Network.

CanSIS is part of ECORC, and is located on the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa. Tours of the facility are available on request, and arrangements can be made to accomodate visiting researchers.

Since 1972, the Canadian Soil Information System (CanSIS) has supported the research activities of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada by building the National Soil DataBase

Users can easily perform queries to search the records of the detailed datasets and soil surveys.

SLC v3.0 is the latest revision of the Soil Landscapes of Canada,  which was developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to provide information about the country’s agricultural soils at the regional and national levels. 

SLC Version 3.0 offers the following advantages over previous versions:

  • A new database model that links soil-landscape components on the SLC map to soil attribute data bases.  
  • Separate soil-landscape and base map layers which allow for easier maintenance and update of data.
  • Linkage to a standard digital base, and improved spatial accuracy.
  • Incorporation of new information from recent soil surveys.

SLC v3.0 provides new soils information at a scale of 1:1 million for the major agricultural regions of Canada.  Further releases will provide similar updated information for the rest of the country.  The SLC v3.0 map series maintains the linkage to the national Ecological Stratification System for Canada.  SLC maps are available in several versions (1.0 to 2.2 and now 3.0) from the AAFC CanSIS web site.

SLC v3.0 can be downloaded from the AAFC CanSIS website in ARC/INFO export and shapefile formats in Decimal Degrees (DD). Files can be downloaded directly at http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/nsdb/slc/v3.0/zip_files/
