The photos can be used to create cards or to share with friends and family. The characters have been created by a UBC student.

Canadian Soil Web Collaborative
The BC Soil Web Collaborative is a suite of knowledge-rich, accessible, shareable online learning resources for the study of soil science and the creation of a distributed community of practice in soil science. These online resources provide information on basic soil science principles, illustrate soil formation processes, demonstrate the identification and classification of soils and illustrate land-use impacts on soil quality. One recently completed resource examines the glacial origins of BC’s soil landscapes and parent materials. The Collaborative supports a distributed community of practice in soil science that involves students, professors, research scientists and natural resource professionals in such diverse areas as forestry, agriculture and urban land-use planning. BC Soil Web Collaborative represents a groundbreaking innovation in communication among not just soil scientists in BC but also in North America.
