Agricultural development and food security in karst areas affect the well-being of local people. In order to clarify the spatial correlation between soil physical-chemical indicators, samples of soil were taken to analyze the soil pH, soil electric conductivity, soil temperature, and soil moisture volume content at different soil depths from 0–30 cm in Guohua Karst Demonstration Zone as research subjects. Combining indoor sampling point distribution and field monitoring, we comprehensively used classical statistics, spatial auto-regression analysis method, and “3S” technology to establish the spatial auto-regression models of soil physical-chemical indicators of different soil depths in a micro-scale format. The results showed that the mean value of soil pH and soil temperature had a ow variations, while the coefficients of variation decreased with the increase of soil depth. Soil moisture volume content showed medium variation to intense variation, and soil electric conductivity had intense variations. The soil physical-chemical indicators ranging from 5–10 cm soil depths were both in accordance with the spatial lag auto-regression models. The soil physical-chemical indicators from 20–30 cm soil depths were both in accordance with the spatial residual autoregression models.
