The NSDB is a comprehensive geospatial platform archiving soil, landscape, and climatic data across Canada. It integrates datasets from federal and provincial surveys to support land resource analysis and sustainable management. Key components include Soil Name and Layer Data, the National Pedon Database, and Soil Landscape Grids of Canada, which aid in soil classification, digital mapping, environmental modeling, carbon stock assessments, and soil health reporting. The Detailed Soil Surveys (DSS) offer the most extensive soil inventory, covering major agricultural regions at various scales to assess land suitability, soil fertility, and erosion risks. Additional datasets, such as the Canada Land Inventory (CLI) and Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC), provide insights into land capability and ecological frameworks. Data is accessible via interactive maps, GIS layers, and downloadable tables.
