abstract = {The spatial variability of soil properties is poorly
understood, despite its importance in designing appropriate
experimental sampling strategies. As preparation for a
farm-scale agro-ecosystem services monitoring project, the
'North Wyke Farm Platform', there was a need to assess the
spatial variability of key soil chemical and physical
properties.The field-scale spatial variability of soil
chemical (total N, total C, soil organic matter), soil
physical properties (bulk density and particle size
distribution) and stable isotope ratios (δ(13) C and δ(15)
N values) was studied using geostatistical approaches in an
intensively managed grassland.The scales over which stable
isotopes vary (ranges: 212-258 m) were larger than those of
the total nutrients, soil organic matter and bulk density
(ranges: 84-170 m). Two visually and statistically distinct
areas of Great Field (north and south) were identified in
terms of co-occurring high/low values of several soil
properties.The resulting patterns of spatial variability
suggest lower spatial variability of stable isotopes than
that of total nutrients, soil organic matter and bulk
density. Future sampling regimes should be conducted in a
grid with <85 m distance between sampling locations to
sufficiently capture the spatial variability of the measured
soil properties on the 'North Wyke Farm Platform'.
Consultation of the management histories of the sampled
field revealed that it had previously comprised two fields
with contrasting management histories, suggesting an effect
of management legacy (>5 years) on the patterns of spatial
variability.},
