Spatial variability of soil properties is significant of soil mapping, precision fertilization and sustainable development of agriculture. Fractal geometry is a new scientific method and theory to explore complexity, as a tool to research the spatial variability of soil properties will have a brilliant future. This paper summarized the literatures of the fractal theory in the spatial variability of soil physical properties, chemical properties, moisture characteristics and state parameters after 2000. Finally, the prospects of the application of the fractal theory were probed.%土壤特性空间变异研究对土壤制图、精准施肥、农业可持续发展等方面具有重要意义.分形几何学是一种探索复杂性的事物的新科学方法和理论,在研究土壤特性空间变异中将有大有可为.本文主要综述了2000年以后分形理论在土壤物理特性、化学特性、水分特征及状态参数的空间变异研究中的应用进展,最后对分形理论在土壤特性空间变异研究中的发展方向进行了展望.
