Study on Spatial Variability of Soil Characteristics on Different Land Use Types Based on Land Parcel Scale - A Case Study in Kenli County

Abstract

Soil characteristics spatial variability is one of the important attributes of soil, while land use is the most universal, the most direct and the most profound factor which affect soil quality. In this study, by the land statistics analysis of the soil characteristic in Kenli County, we study the spatial variability of soil characteristics on different land use types and the reasons for these variations produced. Research found that land use type has profound effect on soil characteristics in Kenli County. Different land parcel, different soil or terrain and different management measures can make it cause different variation structure.
