CHEMICAL, MORPHOLOGICAL AND MINERALOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A CHRONOSEQUENCE OF SOILS ON ALLUVIAL DEPOSITS IN THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES

Three distinct profile types of soil found on alluvial deposits appeared to represent a chronosequence in soil formation. The chemical, morphological and mineralogical characteristics of these soils, classified as Alluvial, Brown Wooded and Grey Wooded, are given and soil development is discussed.
