FROZEN BEACH RIDGE SOILS IN THE HUDSON BAY LOWLAND, ONTARIO

Two beach ridge soils are described from the area west of Winisk, Ontario, in the Hudson Bay Lowland. These soils, although frozen, are podzolic and incipient-podzolic. The occurrence of frozen podzols in the Lowland indicates vegetational and pedological changes related to regional paludification.
