- (1)
- The soil properties W, SOM, and S showed obvious stratification characteristics in the longitudinal profile. (i) The first layer, ranging from 0 to 50 cm, was greatly affected by the external environment, and the W and S fluctuated significantly with the seasons. The SOM decreased with the decrease in humus content in relation to depth. (ii) The second layer, below 50 cm, was relatively less affected by the external environment and tended to be stable, with relatively high W and low S and SOM.

- Grain–size composition and mineral composition had no obvious stratification in the longitudinal profile. In the study area, silt was the main constituent in the grain–size composition, followed by clay, and sand was the least. The sand content changed relatively little in relation to depth, while the silt and clay content fluctuated significantly, and there seemed to be a mirror relationship between them. Moreover, the secondary minerals accounted for less than 25% of the mineral composition and increased in relation to depth, which coincided with the variation in clay content.
- (3)
- The soil properties in the study area changed significantly with space. In the S(E) study area, the precipitation was relatively abundant, and the average values of W, SOM, S, and pH in the soil were large. Under leaching, the shallow soil was desalted, and the salt storage in the deep soil was high. In the N(W) study area, evaporation and freeze–thaw played a dominant role in salt migration, and the salt state in the soil transformed from desalination into accumulation. In addition, the crystallization degree of the clay minerals tended to increase in the N(W)–S(E) direction, indicating that the relatively hot and humid climates in the S(E) were more conducive to the crystallization of the clay minerals.
- (4)
- The process of soil salinization was also accompanied by soil alkalization in the study area, but salinization was more common and serious than alkalization. In summary, this study provided valuable insights into the spatiotemporal variation in soil properties in Western Jilin province, and the findings could help develop effective strategies for soil management in this area.
