Spatio-Temporal Heterogeneity of Soil Moisture on Shrub–Grass Hillslope in Karst Region
Influenced by the topography, the spatial variation of soil thickness on karst slopes is very large, and accordingly the spatial variation of soil moisture is also large. Therefore, analyzing the spatial heterogeneity of soil moisture on hillslopes is important for maintaining ecosystem stability. Combining geostatistical methods and GIS technology, the spatial variability and distribution pattern of soil moisture and the influencing factors of spatial variation and surface soil moisture (0–7 cm) on a typical karst shrub–grass hillslope were analyzed. The results showed that the mean soil moisture and coefficient of variation (CV) ranged between 25.7–42.6% and 10.3–20.9%, respectively, showing a moderate variation. The soil moisture presented a moderate or strong spatial autocorrelation in the sampling scale. The occurrence of rainfall events can exert a great influence on reducing the spatial heterogeneity of soil moisture. The spatial distribution pattern of soil moisture showed roughly plaque or stripe distribution. When soil moisture was much lower, the patch space fragmentation of soil moisture was higher. The soil moisture was higher in the low and middle parts of the plot. We can conclude that factors such as topography, vegetation, and weather conditions will exert a significant effect on soil moisture spatial variability. Areas with lower slope and higher vegetation coverage were more conducive to the retention of soil moisture.
