The Quebec continental land represents 1,512,000 km2 of forests (59.9%), wetlands (12.5%), water bodies (11.7%), and agricultural land (4.2%) (Delisle, 2020). The rest of the territory (24.2%) is represented by tundra and bare surfaces, much of which within the permafrost zones. Soils are greatly influenced by geology and climate, and the whole province was affected by the last glaciation, so soils are young (<13,000 year-old). Five major soil regions have been mapped in Qu\u00e9bec(nomenclature based on Soil Classification Working Group, 1998): 1) St. Lawrence Lowlands mainly with fine-textured Gleysol; 2) Appalachians with loamy Podzols or Brunisols; 3) Laurentians on the Canadian Shield with stony coarse-textured Podzols; 4) Abitibi and James Bay Lowlands with fine-textured soils (mainly Gleysols and Organic soils); and 5) Mistassini Highlands with stony coarse-textured Brunisols or Podzols. Although not mapped in detail, Organic soils and Cryosols are abundant in the Northern part of the province. Typical soil profiles from Qu\u00e9bec are presented in Fig. 1. Qu\u00e9bec soils are therefore quite variable and represent huge land surfaces. They also present different and significant challenges and priorities in terms of management and protection that are summarized below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
