Aylesbury Saskatchewan Information

Aylesbury (2016 population: 40) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Craik No. 222 and Census Division No. 7. The village is approximately 60 km north of the City of Moose Jaw. Aylesbury incorporated as a village on March 31, 1910.[7] The village was named after Aylesbury, a town in Buckinghamshire, England.[8] A Parrish & Heimbecker grain elevator was constructed in 1906 and was the last elevator to operate in Aylesbury, up until the mid-1990s.[citation needed] It was demolished in October 2009.[citation needed] Aylesbury School opened in 1909; in 1970 the school closed and its students were sent to the school in nearby Craik.[9][10] In the 1980s, Aylesbury received national media attention when residents rallied in an (ultimately unsuccessful) attempt to convince Canada Post not to close the village’s post office.[citation needed] Today, the Canada Post service is contracted to the Aylesbury Hotel.[citation needed] Aylesbury was the childhood home of Ashley Luther, who modeled and advocated for women’s health as Elly Mayday.[11] As part of a series of monuments in towns along Highway 11, a life-size ox and cart was erected outside Aylesbury in 1999.[citation needed] It was created by Don Wilkins, who also created metal sculptures for the neighbouring towns of Craik and Girvin.[12] In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Aylesbury had a population of 67 living in 28 of its 38 total private dwellings, a change of 67.5% from its 2016 population of 40. With a land area of 1.31 km2 (0.51 sq mi), it had a population density of 51.1/km2 (132.5/sq mi) in 2021.[15] In the 2016 Census of Population, the Village of Aylesbury recorded a population of 40 living in 22 of its 30 total private dwellings, a -5% change from its 2011 population of 42. With a land area of 1.28 km2 (0.49 sq mi), it had a population density of 31.3/km2 (80.9/sq mi) in 2016.[16] 50°56?20?N 105°41?38?W? / ?50.939°N 105.694°W? / 50.939; -105.694 Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aylesbury,_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.
