The remainder is classified according to the Canadian System of Soil Classification. This system differentiates soil types on the basis of measured properties of the profile and uses a hierarchical scheme to classify soils from general to specific. The most recent version of the classification system has five categories in its hierarchical structure. From general to specific, the major categories in this system are: "Orders", "Great Groups", "Subgroups",

Aridisols occur in parts of the western United States which are too dry for the growth of mesophytic plants. Entisols, which exhibit little soil profile development, are characteristic of areas where soil parent materials have quite recently been deposited, e.g. on recent river alluvium. In the US, Gelisols occur only in parts of Alaska; they are characterized by having permafrost within 100 cm

The soil classification system changes as knowledge grows through soil mapping and research in Canada and elsewhere. Classification involves arranging individual units with similar characteristics into groups. Soils do not occur as discrete entities; thus the unit of measurement for soil is not obvious.

Narragansett soils are found in upland areas of Rhode Island, where they occupy approximately 12,000 acres (49 km²), and in the adjacent states of Connecticut and Massachusetts. This soil type has been unofficially named the State Soil of Rhode Island. The Narragansett soil series consists of coarse-loamy over sandy

The properties of Regosolic soils are essentially those of the parent material. Two great groups are defined. Regosols consist essentially of C horizons. Humic Regosols have an Ah horizon at least 10 cm thick. Regosolic soils cover about 73 000 km (0.8%) of Canada's land area. The 31 great group classes are formed by subdividing order classes on the basis of soil properties that reflect differences in soil-forming processes (e.g., kinds and amounts of organic matter in surface soil horizons).

Justus von Liebig in his book "Organic chemistry in its applications to agriculture and physiology" (published 1840), asserted that the chemicals in plants must have come from the soil and air and that to maintain soil fertility, the used minerals must be replaced. Liebig nevertheless believed the nitrogen was supplied from the air. The enrichment of soil with guano by the Incas was rediscovered in 1802, by Alexander von Humboldt. This led to its mining and that of Chilean nitrate and to its application to soil in the United States and Europe

The inorganic particles of different mineral soils vary greatly in size distribution, often as a result of transport and deposition of the parent material from which the soil is formed.

Other systems combine characteristics resulting from soil-forming processes and characteristics inherited from the parent material.

Temperature, soil moisture and topography are the major factors affecting the accumulation of organic matter in soils. Organic matter tends to accumulate under wet or cold conditions where decomposer activity is impeded by low temperature or excess moisture which results in anaerobic conditions. Conversely,
