“…Woody calcareous soils (Mitchell et al, 1950) of the Chernozemic soil order (probably Typic Calcicryolls) occur near recharge depressions and are associated with lateral groundwater movement, capillary rise, and biocycling of calcium by poplar (Populus) species (Fuller et al, 1999). Soils of the Gleysolic Soil Order occur where groundwater is, seasonally at least, near the surface of the soil (Agriculture Canada Expert Committee on Soil Survey, 1987).…”

“…Rego Black Chernozem soils may occur adjacent to Orthic Black soils under grassland, but they are typically under poplar forests (Fuller et al 1999). These soils, first described by Mitchell et al (1950), are formed on calcareous deposits under a wooded to peat vegetation.…”

. 2003. Organic carbon storage and stable isotope composition of soils along a grassland to forest environmental gradient in Saskatchewan. Can. J. Soil Sci. 83: 405-414. Limited information is available about soil organic carbon accumulation rates and stable isotope composition in the boreal region of the Canadian prairies. The objectives of the study were to document soil development, measure carbon storage and accumulation rates, and determine the 13 C/ 12 C ratio of organic matter in native prairie soils in the major soil-climatic zones of Saskatchewan. The mean thickness of the Ah horizon increases from 5 cm in the Brown Chernozems to 14 cm in Black Chernozems, and this horizon is absent in Gray Luvisols. The thickness and degree of development of B horizons increase from Brown to Gray soils. Total organic C storage to 1.2 m depth in Brown, Dark Brown, Black Chernozems, and Gray Luvisols is 9. 08, 11.72, 14.88, 9.63 kg C m -2 , respectively. The long-term mean annual accumulation rates of organic C for Brown, Dark Brown, Black, and Gray soils are 0.57, 0.90, 1.18, and 0.84 g m -2 yr -1 , respectively. For a Rego Black Chernozem the rate is 1.83 g m -2 yr -1 . All these values are higher than those reported for temperate grasslands in the United States of America. The δ 13 C values of organic C (an average of all profiles in each soil zone to 1.2-m depth) range from -22.9 ‰ for Dry Brown soils, -24.3‰ for Brown soils, -24.8‰ for Dark Brown soils, -25.3‰ for Black soils, and -26.8‰ for Gray soils. The relative contribution of C4 plants to soil organic C decreases from the warm semiarid grassland to the moist Boreal region, where C4 plants have not influenced organic C at all. Considering the net primary production (NPP) estimated for the soil zones, average aboveground carbon sequestration is estimated to be about 0.46% of NPP. These data provides a realistic assessment of C balances in native prairie soils of Saskatchewan. 13 C/ 12 C de la matière organique dans le sol des prairies naturelles des principales zones pédologiques et climatiques de la Saskatchewan. L'épaisseur moyenne de l'horizon Ah passe de 5 cm dans les tchernozioms bruns à 14 cm dans les tchernozioms noirs, mais cet horizon manque dans les luvisols gris. L'épaisseur et le développement des horizons B vont en s'accroissant lorsqu'on passe des sols bruns aux sols gris. La quantité totale de C organique stockée à 1,2 m de profondeur dans les tchernozioms bruns, brun foncé et noirs et dans les luvisols gris s'établit respectivement à 9,08, 11,72, 14,88 et 9,63 kg par m 2 . Le taux d'accumulation moyen annuel à long terme du C organique se chiffre à 0,57, 0,90, 1,18 et 0,84 g par m 2 dans les sols bruns, brun foncé, noirs et gris, respectivement. Ce taux s'élève à 1,83 g par m 2 pour les tchernozioms noirs Rego. Toutes ces valeurs dépassent celles des prairies des zones tempérées aux États-Unis. La valeur δ 13 C du C organique (moyenne de tous les profils à 1,2 m de profondeur) s'établit à -22,9 % pour les sols bruns arides, -24,3 % pour les sol...
