Graduate School, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing ) Abstract :Confirmation of the Cs reference inventory is the premise and foundation of using Cs technique to study soil erosion. However, most investigators made the Cs reference inventory using haphazard approach and lacked the uniform sampling numbers and sampling area. The sampling method of gradually increased grid density was used to study the spatial variation of Cs reference inventory on undisturbed land and cultivated land in this paper. The results indicated that Cs inventory showed spatial variation greatly on the undisturbed area. The exponential regression appeared between the number of reference points and CV. With the increasing of grid area, the coefficient of variation of Cs content displayed the increased trend. And to satisfy the required accuracy of experiment, at least 11 points should be sampled in the area of 0125m 2. However, due to long2term cultivation on crop land, the Cs content was mixed uniformly within the plough layer, and the spatial variation decreased obviously. The sampling numbers of reference points had also the exponential regression relationship with CV. At least 7 points should be sampled to reach accuracy of experiment, and the sampling numbers were not affected by sampling area. Key words : Cs reference inventory ; grid sampling ; spatial variability, Cs : : : (2006BAD09B05) : (19822),,,,, E2mail com : (19702),,,, E2mail com
