Soil Survey Complex

The soil complex database contains other descriptive information including slope class, Canada Land Inventory (CLI) ranking, stoniness, drainage class, texture etc. The CLI components of the data layer is generally intended to be used as a tool for broad land use planning decision making, and not necessarily for field-level management. For more information on the guidelines: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/landuse/classify.htm The soil complex information can also be applied to source water protection, nutrient management and soil erosion modeling. Note: The soil complex data layer is subject to a continuous improvement strategy.
