(i) The unconsolidated material on the immediate surface of the earth that serves as a natural medium for the growth of land plants. (ii) The naturally occurring unconsolidated material on the surface of the earth that has been influenced by parent material, climate (including the effects of moisture and temperature), macro- and micro-organisms, and relief, all acting over a period of time to produce soil that may differ from the material from which it was derived in many physical, chemical, mineralogical, biological, and morphological properties.  3, record 1, English, - soil

For the purpose of the Canadian taxonomic system, the earth's surface (the material that is to be classified) is divided into soil and nonsoil. Soil is the naturally occurring, unconsolidated, mineral or organic material at the earth's surface that is capable of supporting plant growth. It extends from the surface to 15 cm (6 inches) below the depth at which properties produced by soil-forming processes can be detected.  3, record 1, English, - soil

(i) Matériaux non consolidés à la surface immédiate de la terre, servant de milieu naturel à la croissance des plantes terrestres. (ii) Matériaux non consolidés naturels à la surface de la terre, influencés par le matériau originel, le climat (y compris les effets de l'humidité et de la température), les macro- et micro-organismes et le relief. Cette action répartie sur le temps produit un sol pouvant différer du matériau dont il est formé en bien des points physiques, chimiques, minéralogiques, biologiques et morphologiques.  2, record 1, French, - sol

En taxonomie canadienne, on distingue deux sortes de matériaux à la surface de la terre (objet de la classification) : le sol et le non-sol. On qualifie de sol le matériau naturel, non consolidé, minéral ou organique, qui peut maintenir la croissance des plantes. Le sol s'étend depuis la surface jusqu'à une profondeur de 15 cm (6 po) au-dessous de la limite de détection des caractères attribuables aux processus de la formation des sols.  2, record 1, French, - sol
