Abstract: Geostatistics combined with geographical information system(GIS)was applied to analyze the spatial variability of soil total K and available N in urban area of Shenyang City. The results showed that the theoretical semivariogram models of soil total K was best described by an exponential model, while soil available N was best fitted by a Gaussian model. The ratios of nugget to sill of soil total K and available N were 10.65% and 17.96%, respectively, indicating that there existed significant spatial correlations between soil total K and available N, and the spatial variability was mainly caused by structural factors. The spatial distributions of soil total K and available N in urban area of Shenyang were analyzed by kriging interpolation, and it was found that the content of soil total K had no definite spatial distribution pattern, while the content of soil available N was higher in the around and lower in the middle of the city.
