J Jpn Soc Soil Phys No 30, p1+ 2+,** * Spatial Variability Analysis of Soil Properties in a Hilly Upland Field Junichi KASHIWAGI* Graduate School of Agriculture,Hokkaido University, Kita 3 Nishi 3,Kita-ku,Sapporo,*0* 2/23,Japan Abstract Spatial variability of soil properties was studied by using correlation analysis with landscape and geostatistical concepts on a +,-ha upland field in a hilly area Soil properties of Ap horizon were examined on a square grid at +-m intervals and on three transects at 1-m intervals The CV values suggested that the variabilities of most soil properties were higher than the results reported at any topographical conditions These large variables depend on the result of soil erosion and sedimentation in response to the landscape At the eroded area,the thickness of Ap horizon had been kept constant with subsoil by tillage,as a result Ap horizon was composed of di#erent soil materials from sedimentation and erosion e#ects The spatial variability of ph, total carbon content,phosphate absorption coe$cient,bulk density,stone,sand,silt and clay content could be explained with topographical features ; however,available water content was di$cult to explain Moreover,former properties were distinguished at landscape model units, these contribute to the rational soil sampling system to realize regional soil management The multiple regression models of total carbon and stone content,using only topographic attributes calculated from a digital elevation model (DEM),matched reasonably well with the observed data Key words : soil properties of Ap horizon,spatial variability,terrain analysis,geostatistics,spatial distribution + Miller et al +322 Timlin et al +332 Imade et al,**+ * *0* 2/23 3 3 :
