Description: New Brunswick soils are generally shallow compared to major agricultural soils in North America and abroad due to the presence of bedrock or dense, compact subsoil layers near the soil surface. This single soil factor can severely limit agricul tural land use and productivity, it can also impose restrictions to costeffective agricultural land development measures, such as subsurface drainageand land clearing, where adequatedepth of friable soil material is a fundamental requirement. To assist in timely, informed land developmentplanning, a simple soil classificationsystem based on soil depth to a restricting layer is presented. All of the Province's soil types are placed in one of four soil depth classes. Additional modifiers within soil depth classes include subsoil texture and mode of deposition. Soil Survey Reports of varying intensity provide the basic data source. The systemdoes not replacethe needfor on-sitesoil investigation or detailed soil inventories, rather it conveniently identifies potentially limited soil conditions early in the planning process. It should be of interest to those managing, planning, and constructing agricultural land improvement works.
