The first phase of the report examined the data collected from 1998 to 2000 from the initialsoil pedological characterization of the AESA Soil Quality Benchmark sites. In general, theresults indicate that the benchmark sites included in the study were representative of agriculturalsites in Alberta. As such, the results of the soil monitoring study may be extrapolated acrossecoregions and throughout the entire province.Initially, a total of 43 benchmark sites were identified and characterized, although one sitewas removed shortly after the program started. All remaining sites were positioned within theBoreal Plains and Prairies ecozones and were from one of Alberta’s seven main agriculturalivecoregions: Aspen Parkland, Boreal Transition, Fescue Grassland, Mid-Boreal Uplands, MixedGrassland, Moist Mixed Grassland and Peace Lowland.
