Predicted Soil organic carbon (%) at a defined depth range (0–5 cm, 5–15 cm, 15–30 cm, 30–60 cm, 60–100 cm).

The Canadian Soil Information Service has developed a detailed dataset of Canada's soils and associated properties using advanced machine learning techniques. The Soil Landscape Grids of Canada is produced using a combination of historical and current data from both soil sampling and remote...

Predicted sand percentage (%) at a defined depth range.

There are several species of moths whose caterpillars are significant pests on agricultural crops. While there are natural predators, some are unwilling hosts for parasites. Some parasitoid wasp species contribute to biological control of these caterpillar pests by laying eggs inside live...

Vaccinium is a group of small fruit-bearing shrubs that includes the blueberries, cranberries, and lingonberries which are among the few major crops grown in Canada that are truly native to Canada. Dataset Type: Occurrence Specimen Type: Preserved specimens

The nematode collection was begun by A.D. Baker in 1943 and is the primary depository for Canadian nematodes excluding parasites of humans and other animals. There are nearly 30,000 slides and 5000 vials of over 88,000 roundworm specimens in the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids,...

The AAFC Productivity Account for Canadian agriculture is an annual time-series database, covering the years 1961-2011, that is comprised of price index and constant dollar implicit quantity series for gross output and input aggregates. The data are defined at the national level only – i.e. for...

The "Agri-Environmental Indicator Risk of Soil Salinization" dataset estimates the risk of accumulation of soluble salts on agricultural lands in the Canadian Prairies. At high levels, the accumulation of these salts in soil and groundwater in the landscape can inhibit the growth of many plant...

The Agri-Environmental Indicator Residual Soil Nitrogen (RSN) dataset estimates the amount of nitrogen remaining in the soil at the end of the growing season (after harvest) on Canadian agricultural lands annually.

The Agri-Environmental Indicator Soil Erosion Risk dataset provides the estimated risk of soil loss from the combined effects of wind, water, and tillage for Soil Landscapes of Canada agricultural areas for each year since 1981 to 2021.
