Soils of Arctic Canada were sampled during the Tundra Northwest Expedition 1999 (TNW-99) at 17 sites that cover the ecological regions of the High, Mid and Low Arctic zones. Almost all locations consisted of a mesic and a dry habitat and are described with respect to their ecological function. Analy...
