Shallow, well-drained organic soils occurring in the Vancouver area of British Columbia have been described and characterized. The soils were classified as Lithic Folisols and support good forest stands. The thickness of the L-F horizons decreases with elevation whereas the thickness of the H horizon increases. The Folisols are acid with varying stages of organic matter decomposition. The organic matter was considered to be mycelio fibri-Humimor at the lower elevation and mycelio and amorpho Humimor at the higher elevations. The Lithic Folisols occur as relatively pure units in association with moss-covered (less than 10 cm thick) steeply sloping bedrock and deeper mineral soils classified as Ferro-Humic Podzols.
