Document Summary
A renewable resource is regenerated over time and is part of a natural process of recycling. A non-renewable resource is one that once it is used, it is gone forever. Fossil fuels are the classic example of non-renewable resources. For soil/land, when we choose to allocate land to housing, industrial activity etc. , this is an irreversible decision and the land is effectively lost forever to agricultural activity. In this case the land should be considered a non-renewable resource. The canada land inventory was established to relate soil, landscape and climatic qualities and characteristics to some defined use on the basis of their suitability for that use. Its aim was: to simplify soil maps and express their content in terms of land potential, to form the basis for land use planning. Soils in this class have no significant limitations that restrict their use for crops.
