Abstract

Spatial variability of soil nitrogen and phosphorus in the Yellow River Delta was investigated using geostatistical method. Our results showed moderate variation in TN and TP and high variations in NH4+-N and AP. The best semi-variogram model for each nutrient was identified. The model parameters suggested that the structure variance dominated the total variance of TN, TP and NH4+-N, while the spatial variability of AP was relatively random. The spatial variation scales of soil nitrogen and phosphorus are similar.
