The Athabasca Plain Soils

Brunisoilic SoilSoils of upland sites are predominantly Brunisolics developed in the sandy, coarse-textured parent materials. Podzolics develop in some moister sites. Organics predominate in wet depressional areas with Cryic Fibrisols perhaps most characteristic. Regosolics occur in areas of current aeolian activity.
