   The Soil Taxonomy Forum is an online discussion site for the soil classification system. It is sponsored by USDA-NRCS and hosted by Virginia Tech University. The Forum encourages open discussion of topics related to soil classification, soil description, diagnostic soil properties and qualities of soil, taxonomic classes, and ideas to improve Soil Taxonomy.

   Soil classification involves placing soils into well defined groups based on readily observable properties. When describing soils in the field they are divided into distinct layers (called horizons) and the placement of soils into soil classes is based on the diagnostic features of the different horizons. Soil properties and horizons develop ...

   Soils in Canada are classified according to the Canadian System of Soil Classification (CSSC), a formal taxonomic system with a hierarchy of six levels. The highest level in the CSSC, the order, is based on diagnostic horizons that reflect the effects of the dominant soil-forming process. There are 10 soil orders.

   Which classification system is used for soils not found in Canada?

   • For soils not found in Canada either the American USDA system (Soil Taxonomy) or the United Nations system (World Reference Base) is used. The existence of multiple classification systems is a weakness of soil science as a discipline. The soils of Canada have been surveyed (or mapped) at various scales since the beginning of the 20 th century.

   Why is soil taxonomy important?

   • A comprehensive classification system is important for any science: soil science, plant science, biology, geology, among many others. Effective taxonomy allows us to organize knowledge and learn new relationships. Soil Taxonomy helps in extrapolating soil management research among similar soils around the world.

   Is there an international soil classification system?

   • The CSSC is designed only for soils found in Canada and we have to use other classification systems for global soils that do not have Canadian equivalents. Unfortunately, there is no single agreed-upon international soil classification system in place.
