Dear All, I am looking for some advice on the best type of spatial analysis to use for some soil plot data I have. I was initially going to compare variograms but I've been advised that they may not be appropriate bacause of the small sample size!
I'm looking at the spatial distribution of soil properties across different vegetation types. I've sampled at three different nested spatial scales and have a total of 11 plots. Each plot was 60mx60m and contained 108 random sample points. This plot was quatered and two of the 30m x 30m cells contained 9 sample points. The two remaining quarters were then split into 10m x 10m cells. 6 of the 10m x10m cells contained 9 samples each. Finally, 4 other 10m x 10m cells each containing a 1.5m x 1.5m quadrat was created with again 9 sample points within it. This produces a total of 108 randomly sampled points (A diagram can be e-mailed if needed). Is there a way I can characterise the variability at each spatial scale that would allow me to compare both between scales for each plot and between the plots?
