The Agro-Pedological Atlas is a set of interactive maps which show the characteristics, the fertility, the quality of the water regime, the vulnerability to degradation and the potential of the agricultural soils and land in the Monteregian region of the province of Quebec.

The "Soils of Canada, Derived" national scale thematic datasets display the distribution and areal extent of soil attributes such as drainage, texture of parent material, kind of material, and classification of soils in terms of provincial Detailed Soil Surveys (DDS) polygons, Soil Landscape Polygons (SLCs), Soil Order and Great Group. The relief and associated slopes of the Canadian landscape are depicted on the local surface form thematic dataset. The purpose of the "Soils of Canada, Derived" series is to facilitate the cartographic display and basic queries of the Soil Landscapes of Canada at a national scale. For more detailed or sophisticated analysis, users should investigate the full "Soil Landscapes of Canada" product.

The “Cereals and Pulses Science Sector by CCS” data was derived from the 2011 Census of Agriculture using published and draft documentation describing the Science Sector. It was created for facilitating the geographic description, analysis, and reporting of the sector. The selection of 2011 Census of Agriculture variables was derived from the “STB – AAFC Cereals and Pulses Strategy” (Version 21) document produced on February 25th, 2014 and states;“The cereal and pulse crops that fall within the scope of the STB’s programming and hence this sector science strategy are as follows: Cereals; Wheat (all classes), Barley (malt and feed), oats, rye, triticale, corn for grain Pulses; dry beans (white and coloured), dry peas ( green, yellow and other), lentils, chickpeas”.

The Agri-Environmental Indicator (AEI) dataset series provides information that was created using indicators that assess the environmental impact of agricultural activities. These agri-environmental indicators integrate information on soils, climate and land surface features with statistics on land use and crop and livestock management practices. The datasets provide valuable, location-specific information on the overall environmental risks and conditions in agriculture across Canada and how these change over time. This dataset series collects AEI data that is related to geographic features and can be represented on a map. Other types of AEI data are not included. The datasets can be organized into the following major groups: farm land management, soil health, water quality, air quality, and food and beverage industry (not included). Farm land management datasets: soil cover, wildlife habitat, and farm land management (not included). Soil health datasets: soil erosion, soil organic matter, trace elements, and soil salinity. Water quality datasets: nitrogen, phosphorus, coliforms, and pesticides. Air quality datasets: greenhouse gases, ammonia, particulate matter.

These agricultural capability / Limitation maps can be used at the regional level for making decisions on land improvement and farm consolidation, for developing landuse plans, and for preparing equitable land assessments.

This dataset is aligned to a grid that with a dataset of soil attributes following GlobalSoilMap standards and specifications at specified depth increments extending over the agricultural portion of Canada. The SLC map polygons were rasterized and combined with the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) 90 metre grid to create the gridded raster dataset. Weighted averages of soil attribute properties are generated from existing soil horizon information to conform to recognized fixed depth increments. Soil attribute weighted means are calculated by using all the soil components based on their areal extent in each SLC polygon. The polygonal attribute weighted mean averages are spatially represented by the grid. For more information, visit: http://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/cb29b370-3639-4645-9ef9-b1ef131837b7

The "Prairie Agricultural Landscapes (PAL)" datasets identify areas of the agricultural portions of the Canadian Prairies with similar land and water resources, land use and farming practices. They are represented by vector polygons. Based on selected attributes from the Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) and the 1996 Census of Agriculture, the Prairies were classified into 13 (thirteen) classes of Land Practices Group and five (5) Major Land Practices Groups. Typical attributes used to define the Land Practice Groups include: land in pasture, land in summerfallow, crop mixture, farm size and the level of chemical and fertilizer inputs. The five (5) Major Groups were devised to help better understand the relationships between the groups.
