Description

The Land Suitability Rating System (LSRS) rating map illustrates the relative suitability of lands in Alberta for growing spring-seeded small grains and shows how the dominant LSRS codes are distributed across Alberta. The LSRS rating process improves on the more subjective and dated Canada Land Inventory rating process. The map combines the AGRASID 4.1 computed LSRS values of the agricultural area of the province with the SLC 3.2 computed LSRS values of the forested area of the province. See Usage Considerations for more detail.

Description

The land suitability rating system (LSRS) is a procedure for rating the suitability of land for agricultural spring-seeded small grains and hardy oilseeds. The system is based on the soil–climate–landscape potential and is an improvement on the Canada Land Inventory capability rating that it replaces. This one-page reference tool offers guidance for interpreting an LSRS rating and provides a link to a more detailed discussion of the rating.
