          During the 1980s, Agriculture Canada pedologists Scott Smith (retired from Summerland Research Station, formerly based in Whitehorse) and Charles Tarnocai (retired from Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa) had a large field program which addressed the trends in soil development in the central Yukon. Across this region, particularly between Whitehorse and Dawson City, the land surfaces and surficial deposits vary greatly in age due to the differing extents of glaciations over the past ~2 million years.

          Tarnocai and Smith shared the unpublished data and soil samples from this work with Dr. Paul Sanborn, and this resulted in a student project published as:
          Daviel, E., P. Sanborn, C. Tarnocai, and C.A.A. Smith. 2011. Clay mineralogy and chemical properties of argillic horizons in central Yukon paleosols. Canadian Journal of Soil Science 91: 83-93. https://doi.org/10.4141/cjss10067

          This data set consists of transcribed data from lab data sheets, showing McQuesten-Dawson City paleosol data from the Tarnocai and Smith 1983 AAFC Yukon Paleosol Study. The data set includes chemical and particle size data for Tarnocai & Smith samples, as determined by the Ag Canada lab. Note that the “Site” column indicates the NTS topographic map sheet (e.g. 115P/13) for the sampling locations.

          At the Kenneth Creek installation (Ministry of Forests E.P. 886.13), forest floors and mineral soils were sampled on 3 occasions: 1996 (by Brockley), 1999 (by Sanborn), and 2005 (by Sanborn). In addition, bulk density measurements and geochemical analyses were conducted for selected depths on the "Bowron" pedon previously published in the mineralogical study by Arocena and Sanborn (1999); this pedon was sampled on the southeastern edge of the installation beside the main access trail.

          The 1996 sampling (2 years after treatments began) involved forest floors and 0-15 cm depth mineral soils, sampled at 10 random points in each plot; there were no measurements of forest floor mass or mineral soil bulk density.

          The 1999 and 2005 sampling was more intensive, and included forest floor mass and mineral soil bulk density measurements, as well as a greater depth of mineral soil sampling (0-20 cm; 20-40 cm). Note that the mineral soil bulk density measurements were not repeated in 2005; 1999 values were used in subsequent analyses.

          Results from the 2005 soil sampling were published along with those from the Crow Creek (spruce) installation in:
          Brockley, R.P. and P.T. Sanborn. 2009. Effects of repeated fertilization on forest floor and mineral soil properties in young lodgepole pine and spruce forests in central British Columbia.
