Abstract

Subdivisions of the physical landscape usually form a basis for soil survey. Landform classifications derived from geomorphology are not always applicable because of their emphasis on the origin of the landscape. A reconnaissance soil survey in the Fort Nelson area of northeastern British Columbia is used to demonstrate that concepts derived from land classification can be more useful, because inherent characteristics of the landscape rather than its mode of origin are used as defining criteria.
