The Athabasca Plain Soils
Soils of upland sites are predominantly Brunisolics developed in the sandy, coarse-textured parent materials. Podzolics develop in some moister sites. Organics predominate in wet depressional areas with Cryic Fibrisols perhaps most characteristic.
Regosolics occur in areas of current
aeolian activity.
