The spatial variability of soil hydraulic properties influenced by topographic and soil physical and chemical factors is one of the key factors which have considerable effects on water flow and solute transport.An experiment was conduced on a 80m @ 40m plot.Saturated conductivity
Kfs
was measured at a depth of 30 cm
and soil physical and chemical properties were also considered
such as wetness index
bulk density
particle composition
organic matter
exchangeable sodium
CEC and ESP in the 24 sampling sites selected randomly.Based on classic statistics and the Kolmogorov) Smiromov(K)S) normality test
spatialst ructure was analyzed using the GIS+ for Window 5.The result indicated a normal distribution for Kfs
bulk density
organic matter
sand
clay and CEC
a lognormal distribution for exchangeable Na+ and ESP
and auniform distribution for silt.Kfs
bulk density
organic matter
sand
clay
exchangeable sodium and ESP showed the spatial correlation characteristic
but CEC had more distinct spatial heterogeneity than other factors.The influencing factors were also analyzed based on the correlation and PCA method.
