    <Abstract xml:lang="en">
         The mapping of land capability for forestry is based on a national classification system comparable with the other Canada Land Inventory sectors. Land is rated according to seven classes on its capability to grow commercial timber in areas stocked with the optimum number and species of trees. This rating considers the land in its natural state, without improvements such as fertilization, drainage, or amelioration practices.

         Land ratings and classes may change, however, significant changes will only be achieved through costly and continuing practices. The best lands for tree growth are Class 1 while Class 7 land can not yield timber in commercial quantities, these represent the extremes.

         The capability mappings have a scale of 1:250,000 and are accomplished through interpretation of air photographs and field surveys.

         Purpose:

         Assigning land units to a capability class serves as an inventory tool for resource planning and utilization.

    <Abstract xml:lang="fr">
         La cartographie du potentiel des terres pour la production forestière fait fond sur un système national de classification comparable à celui qui est utilisé pour les autres secteurs de l'Inventaire des terres du Canada. Les terres sont cotées en fonction de sept classes pour leurs possibilités de culture d'arbres à vocation commerciale dans des zones de peuplement qui se prêtent à la croissance du plus grand nombre d'arbres et d'essences d'arbres possible. Cette cotation, qui représente la terre dans son état naturel, ne tient pas compte des pratiques de fertilisation, de drainage ou d'amélioration qui pourraient lui être apportées.

         La cotation et les classes de terres peuvent changer, mais seuls des efforts coûteux et soutenus pourraient y apporter un changement significatif. Les terres qui se prêtent le mieux à la culture des arbres appartiennent à la classe 1, tandis que les terres de la classe 7 n'ont pas les propriétés requises pour produire du bois en quantité commerciale. Ces deux classes sont donc tout à fait à l'opposé l'une de l'autre.

         Ces cartes du potentiel agricole des terres sont produites à l'échelle de 1 : 250 000 et sont établies à partir de l'interprétation de photographies aériennes et des résultats d'études menées sur le terrain.

         But :

         Attribuer une classe d'aptitude aux terres pour constituer un répertoire à des fins de définition de leurs ressources et de planification de leur utilisation.
