UNIQUE SOILS OF THE FOOTHILLS REGION, HINTON, ALBERTA
A collection of unique and interesting soils, developed in coarse textured aeolian material, was mapped along the Athabasca River near Hinton, Alberta. The sola of all soils possessed varying amounts of "free" lime carbonates and were mildly to moderately alkaline. Irrespective of this, di...
