Soil formation factors, conditioned by physiography and geomorphology, determine the processes that determine soil properties in a given space.  The existence of spatially distributed processes controlling factors would lead to the conclusion that systematic variation in soil properties is possible.  Our hypothesis was that one soil series, located throughout a physiographic region, would exhibit short, intermediate and large scale dependence in the expression of certain soil properties.  To test the hypothesis, 7 fields (4 in the west, two in the central and two in the east) in the Pennyroyal physiographic region of Kentucky were soil sampled using a stratified random protocol.  The soil properties selected were: depth of the A horizon; depth to the B horizon; and both organic matter and texture of the surface horizon.  Variogram analysis was used to characterize the short, intermediate and large scale variance.  Preliminary results indicate anisotropy due to the distribution of the Pennyroyal region.  Anisotropy of properties was geometric (sill was constant, but range changes).  Variation in values obtained for the Crider soil support the findings of Wilding et al. (1994).  Our results indicate that there is systematic spatial variation in a soil located throughout a physiographic region which will help to extrapolate results from individual experiments and field trials to the entire region.
