Abstract: 【Objective】 Evaluating and studying on soil fertility evaluation and its spatial variability can provide a scientific basis for a solid foundation for scientific fertilization and agricultural structure adjustment.【Method】This paper proposed an evaluation index system which included microelement indexes based on former soil fertility evaluation only consider conventional nutrient indexes. Principal component analysis and membership function were used for assessing soil fertility and its spatial variability was analyzed by using geostatistics method.【Result】The results showed that the contribution rates for integrated fertility of soil conventional nutrient indexes and microelement indexes were 0.63 and 0.37, respectively. The soil integrated fertility index (IFI) in the study area was 0.22-0.97 with the average value of 0.53. The geostatistical trend analysis of IFI presented a one-order (linear) global trend and the semi-variance analysis of the residuals showed weak degree of spatial autocorrelation. The overall spatial distribution trends of soil fertility in Yanqing Basin was mainly affected by organic matter and total N. But in the local area, the micronutrients such as available Cu and available Zn played a leading role. Both fertility levels for single available microelement and soil integrated fertility of vegetable fields were higher than orchards and grain crop fields.【Conclusion】Therefore, bringing the microelement indexes into evaluation index system as same as conventional nutrient indexes is practicable and necessary, and geostatistical method can reveal satisfactorily the spatial variation pattern of soil fertility.
