Description

An accurate field description of soils and the sites they occur in is essential source of data for scientifically based decision-making in environmental and agricultural management. Students in this course will learn how different properties form in the field and how these properties can be used to assess and correctly assign horizon labels according to the Canadian System of Soil Classification. The focus throughout is on the soil properties themselves and not the classification or genesis of soils.

Prerequisite(s): AGRC 111.3 or GEOG 120.3 or ASKI 101.3
Note: Students with credit for RRM 215.3 will not receive credit for SLSC 205.1. Students in the Kanawayihetaytan Askiy Diploma in Aboriginal Resource Management program are strongly advised to take SLSC 205.1 before SLSC 232.3.
