Forest Ecosystem Classification (FEC) soil types for Nova Scotia, grouped by texture, drainage, and ecological characteristics.
Coarse-textured, very dry soils derived from granite or quartzite glacial outwash. Extremely low water and nutrient retention; supports drought-tolerant Jack Pine and White Pine.
Coarse-textured with moderate moisture retention. Sandy loam derived from various glacial tills; drought-tolerant yet capable of supporting mixed forest.
Medium-textured, well-drained loamy soils representing typical Acadian Forest sites. Supports Red Spruce, Yellow Birch, and Sugar Maple.

Medium-textured with imperfect drainage and temporary water saturation. May favour Black Spruce or Red Maple over moisture-sensitive hardwoods.
Organic (peat or muck) soils permanently saturated with water; important carbon sinks supporting Black Spruce and Tamarack.
