摘要
Spatial variability of van Genuchten model parameters and its affecting factors in 0~20 cm and 20~40 cm soil layers were studied with multifractal and joint multifractal methods. The results showed that in 0~20 cm and 20~40 cm soil layers parameter had obvious multifractal characteristics, and its spatial variability was strong caused by the distribution of lower and higher values respectively. The multifractal characteristics of parameter n and θs were not obvious, and the spatial variability was weak. Correlation characteristics between van Genuchten model parameters α and soil physical properties in 0~20 cm and 20~40 cm soil layers were analyzed. At the observation scale, the correlations between parameter n and sand and silt content were significant, the parameter n and sand and organic matter content had remarkable relationship, and θs was significantly related to sand content in 0~20 cm soil layer. The relationship between parameters α and organic matter content was remarkable, and the parameter n and θs were significantly related to sand, silt and organic matter content in 20~40 cm soil layer. At the multiple scales, correlations between parameters α and sand and silt content were most obvious in 0~20 cm soil layer, and parameters α were remarkably related to bulk density and organic matter content in 20~40 cm soil layer.
