Abstract:

Accurately identifying the spatial variability of soil organic matter (SOM) and its affecting factors in regional farmland can provide guidance for agricultural production. Taking Xi’an as an example, the spatial variability of farmland SOM and its affecting factors were analyzed by using geostatistics and GIS technology. The results showed that the average content of SOM in the study area was 17.07±4.37 g/kg, and the coefficient of variation (CV) was 25.60%. The best theoretical model of SOM semi-variance function was the exponential model, and the nugget coefficient of this model was 49.83%, which indicated that SOM spatial variability in the study area was affected by the dual effects of structure factors and random factors. Taking the northeast—southwest direction as the axis, the spatial distribution of SOM content in the study area generally showed a distribution trend of higher in the middle and lower in the east and west. The SOM content in the study area was affected by soil type, soil texture, landform type and land use type. Meanwhile, SOM content had significantly negative correlations with pH and altitude. Overall, the SOM abundance level in the study area was moderate, and the difference in SOM content of farmland soil in different counties was obvious. In agricultural production, differential fertilization management needs to be carried out in different regions.
