Landis Saskatchewan Information

Landis is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Reford No. 379 and Census Division No. 13. The village is about 51 km (32 mi) south of Wilkie and about 128 km (80 mi) west from the City of Saskatoon on Highway 14. From 1907 to 1909, the post office at Section 23, Township 37, Range 18 west of the 3rd meridian, was known as Daneville.[4] In 1925, Landis was a Canadian National Railway Station on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway line. As of the 2016 Census, its population was 152. Landis incorporated as a village on May 17, 1909.[5] In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Landis had a population of 133 living in 68 of its 78 total private dwellings, a change of -12.5% from its 2016 population of 152. With a land area of 0.84 km2 (0.32 sq mi), it had a population density of 158.3/km2 (410.1/sq mi) in 2021.[8] In the 2016 Census of Population, the Village of Landis recorded a population of 152 living in 71 of its 82 total private dwellings, a 8.6% change from its 2011 population of 139.

The school was renovated in 1994 and then permanently closed in July 2014.[10] About 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) west of the village is Landis Lake,[11] which is a small endorheic salt lake. It is part of the Landis Lake Important Bird Area (IBA) of Canada that covers 63.07 km2 (24.35 sq mi) of land. It is a significant habitat for congregating shorebirds and a small section of the west-central shore line is designated as critical piping plover habitat. Other birds found there include the stilt sandpiper, sanderling, red-necked phalarope, pectoral sandpiper, American avocet, and the lesser yellowlegs. Landis Lake depends on spring runoff and seasonal rains to maintain water levels. During dry years, the lake will completely dry up.[12] Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landis,_Saskatchewan

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.
