Abstract:
      The Jiefangzha irrigation district in the Inner Mongolia Hetao irrigation area was taken as research subject. Based on 448 samples of 112 sampling points at 4 km of interval distance in the region, and using multi-fractal and joint multi-fractal method, we studied the spatial variability of organic matter concentration in different soil layers (0~20 cm, 20~40 cm, 40~70 cm, 70~100 cm) and their characteristics in the multiscale correlation. Results showed that the organic matter concentration in 20~40 cm soil layer had the smallest spatial variability, and in the surface was the strongest(Δα of 0~20 cm to 70~100 cm soil layer was 0.933、0.795、0.824 and 0.805). The multi-fractal spectrum curve of different layers showed a left hook (Δf>0), indicating that the larger data dominated. Also, the spatial distribution gradually transformed from the dense region to the sparse region from the surface to the 1m depth(D(1)/D(0) from the surface to the 1 m depth was 0.983、0.980、0.973 and 0.965). The joint multi-fractal contour map and the corresponding singular index of different soil layers showed that the correlation between 0~20 cm and 20~40 cm、40~70 cm were relatively high, but with 70~100 cm soil layer was relatively low.
