Plamondon Alberta Information
Plamondon is a hamlet in northern Alberta, Canada within Lac La Biche County.[2] It is located on Highway 858, approximately 3.0 km (1.9 mi) north of Highway 55, and has an elevation of 555 m (1,821 ft). The hamlet is located in Census Division No. 12 and in the federal riding of Fort McMurray—Cold Lake. The community was founded by Joseph Plamondon in 1908 and settled by primarily French-American and French Canadian pioneers. Most of the families that eventually settled there came from Provemont, Michigan (now Lake Leelanau in Leelanau County, Michigan) and from French-speaking areas of Ontario. This is mentioned in a 1991 interview with Cecelia Bussey.[3] North of Plamondon is Rossian. Rossian is a community of Old Believers (Old Ritualists), a Traditionalist Russian Orthodox sect whose ancestors broke from the Church after Patriarch Nikon’s reforms.[citation needed] The Great Schism of 1666, or Raskol, resulted over reforms in church ritual and translation intended to better align the practices of the Russian Church with Greek Orthodox practices.[citation needed] The Old Believers that live outside Plamondon are bezpopovtsy, or Priestless Old Believers, who believe that apostolic succession ended with Nikon’s apostasy and therefore have no clergy and refuse the Eucharist.[citation needed] Most of these families moved to the area in the mid 1970s from Woodburn, Oregon, which is also home to a large Old Believer community.[citation needed] Many also came from Xinjiang, China, by way of New Zealand, where they fled after the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the Chinese Revolution of 1949.[citation needed] In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Plamondon had a population of 303 living in 120 of its 132 total private dwellings, a change of -27.2% from its 2016 population of 416. With a land area of 9.65 km2 (3.73 sq mi), it had a population density of 31.4/km2 (81.3/sq mi) in 2021.[1] As a designated place in the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Plamondon had a population of 348 living in 136 of its 172 total private dwellings, a change of 0.9% from its 2011 population of 345. With a land area of 1.96 km2 (0.76 sq mi), it had a population density of 177.6/km2 (459.9/sq mi) in 2016.[4] Lac La Biche County’s 2016 municipal census counted a population of 348 in Plamondon,[5] a 1.2% change from the hamlet’s 2013 municipal census population of 344.[6] Plamondon is also home for a sizable community of Russian Orthodox Old Believers. The main industries in the region are logging and farming. The community has two schools, Ecole Beausejour and Ecole Plamondon School, which draw students from the entire region. École Plamondon School, offers English, French immersion, and Russian classes. École Beausejour is a francophone school, with instruction surrounding with the francophone culture. There are two hotels, two banks, post office, indoor hockey arena with artificial ice, a museum, and a rather large church. The hamlet also holds an annual French hockey tournament called Hockey en Fête. Frontenacs of University of Alberta have won twice. A Canadian Mud Racing Organization (CMRO) event is also held annually at the Plamondon Mud Bog. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plamondon,_Alberta

Topsoil Depth (in) Alberta Source aafc slc version 3.2
Understanding Topsoil Depth in Alberta: Insights from AAFC SLC Version 3.2 Data
Topsoil depth is a critical factor for agricultural productivity, influencing water retention, nutrient availability, and root growth. The provided map of Alberta illustrates the topsoil depth in inches, highlighting significant regional variations. This analysis is based on data from the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) Version 3.2.
Key Observations
The topsoil depth in Western Alberta and the Rockies is generally shallow, ranging from 0 to 6 inches. This is due to the rugged terrain and erosional processes associated with mountainous regions. The shallow topsoil in these areas supports forests and natural vegetation rather than extensive agriculture.
Central Alberta, including areas around Edmonton and Red Deer, exhibits moderate to deep topsoil depths, generally between 8 to 14 inches. These depths are conducive to productive agriculture, supporting a variety of crops. The deeper topsoil in central regions contributes to higher agricultural yields and sustainable farming practices.
In Southern and Eastern Alberta, regions such as Calgary and areas towards the Saskatchewan border show variable topsoil depths ranging from 6 to 10 inches. While suitable for agriculture, these areas may require careful soil management to maintain productivity. Areas with shallower topsoil are more drought-resistant and may need irrigation and soil conservation practices.
Regional Analysis
The Rocky Mountain Influence is evident in the shallow topsoil of the Rocky Mountain foothills, resulting from the rocky and rugged terrain, limiting soil accumulation. These areas are more suited to forest growth and natural vegetation rather than intensive agriculture.
In contrast, the Prairie Conditions in central Alberta benefit from moderate to deep topsoil, which is ideal for crop production and supports Alberta’s agricultural economy. Maintaining topsoil depth through conservation practices is essential for sustaining long-term agrarian productivity in these areas.
Implications for Agriculture
Understanding topsoil depth is crucial for effective soil management practices, including crop selection, irrigation, and fertilization. Farmers can use this data to optimize their farming practices, choosing crops suited to the available topsoil depth and implementing appropriate soil conservation measures. Deeper topsoil improves water retention and nutrient availability, which is essential for healthy crop growth and high yields.
Conclusion
The topsoil depth map of Alberta reveals significant regional variations influenced by geographical features such as the Rocky Mountains and the fertile plains of central Alberta. Understanding these variations is crucial for optimizing agricultural practices and ensuring sustainable farming. By leveraging this data, farmers can improve crop yields, manage soil health, and enhance overall agrarian productivity in Alberta.
