This map displays the risk of soil degradation by water in the agricultural region of Alberta. Water erosion is a concern because it reduces soil quality by removing soil particles and nutrients, and reduces water quality if these particles are carried into nearby water bodies. The map uses five classes to describe the water erosion risk on bare, unprotected mineral soil: negligible, low, moderate, high and severe.This resource was created using ArcGIS, originally published as a print map in 1993 .

This map displays the risk of soil degradation by wind in the agricultural region of Alberta. Wind erosion is a concern because it reduces soil quality by removing soil nutrients, smaller soil particles and organic matter. Wind erosion can reduce air quality during extreme erosion events and also reduce water quality if eroded particles drift into streams and lakes. The map uses five classes to describe the wind erosion risk on bare, unprotected mineral soil: negligible, low, moderate, high and severe. This resource was created using ArcGIS. It was originally published as a print map in 1989.

As part of measure 2.6 of the 2013-2020 Climate Change Action Plan, the MELCC financed two projects specific to the St. Lawrence river section and aimed at supporting municipalities facing the risks of erosion and flooding. The team of the **Laboratoire de Géomorphology Terre-Mer du Département de Géomorphology de l'Université Laval** has set up an essential geospatial information base for assessing the risks associated with the erosion of the banks of the banks of the St. Lawrence river section. The user will be able to find there (i) the mapping of the classification of the shore (types of banks and their artificialization), (ii) the degradation conditions of artificial structures and (iii) the state of erosion of natural or artificial segments. The sectors most vulnerable to erosion have also been mapped and documented with image quality sheets. These sheets present the characteristics of the shoreline and the main natural (currents, ice, etc.) and human geomorphological processes (currents, ice, etc.) associated with bank erosion for these nerve sectors, in order to better represent local dynamics. The geospatial data associated with shoreline mapping, the quality sheets and the project report, which includes the description of the methodology and results, are available for download. The second project is led by Ouranos and aims to reduce the vulnerability to floods and erosion associated with climate change for communities bordering the St. Lawrence river section. The user will be able to consult two reports resulting from this project: a. Technical report on future trends in the main hydro-climatic factors that influence natural flood risks and bank erosion processes along the fluvial section of the St. Lawrence. The objectives of this report are to draw a portrait of these hazards, covering both the recent past and future projections (2050 and 2080). These factors range from large-scale phenomena, such as the spring flood of the St. Lawrence River or marine uplift, to local phenomena such as freeze-thaw processes that affect clay cliffs and microcliffs. b) Summary of the needs mentioned by the actors of the regional consultation tables (TCR) to adapt riparian communities to the risks of bank erosion and flooding. This report presents a portrait of the participants of the four workshops organized in the fall of 2018, the approach used for the consultation and a summary of the needs expressed. The lists of participants and the detailed reports of each workshop are also included in the annex to this document. The TCRs consulted during these workshops are those of Haut-Saint-Laurent — Greater Montreal, Lac Saint-Pierre, the fluvial estuary and the TCR of Quebec.Following this characterization project, a [Study of bank mobility issues in the St. Lawrence river section] project (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/etude-d-enjeux-de-mobilite-des-berges-dans-le-troncon-fluvial-du-saint-laurent) was carried out. **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This map displays an assessment of soil erosion risk for the agricultural area of Alberta. Loss of protective residue cover through cultivation will increase the potential risk of soil erosion. The vulnerability of the soil to erosion combined with the intensity of cultivation determines the degree to which the soil may be at risk. The classes shown on the map were ranked from 0 (lowest risk) to 1 (highest risk). This resource was created in 2002 using ArcGIS.

The “Thematic Soil Maps of Saskatchewan” is a revised and condensed version of the Saskatchewan Detailed Soils Database produced by CANSIS. It contains data relating to the soils slope, drainage, agricultural capability, erosion potential, and surface texture.

The Agri-Environmental Indicator Soil Erosion Risk dataset provides the estimated risk of soil loss from the combined effects of wind, water, and tillage for Soil Landscapes of Canada agricultural areas for each year since 1981 to 2021.
