Abstract
A computerized soil information system has been established in Canada as a tool for making more efficient use of soil information. Its purpose is to characterize and quantify soil and land units, as a basis for providing decision makers with a better appreciation of the actual environment and the relationships between man and the land. The system is both national and provincial, consists of a collection of individual but mutually related, computer-oriented files, and handles site specific, geographic and evaluative data.Keywords
