Soil water content is one of the key factors affecting plant growth and eco-environment reconstruction. To assess the distribution characteristics of soil water on slopes on the Loess Plateau of China, three typical slopes (tableland gully region: Changwu, hilly and gully region: Ansai and hilly and gully region(water-wind erosion crisscross region): Shenmu) were selected to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of soil water and corresponding environmental factors, and the differences of soil water on slopes were compared by geostatistical analysis. According to the mean variation coefficient (CV) along the soil profile at three locations, vertical changes in the soil profile at 0–500 cm were divided into four layers: a fast-changing layer (0–40 cm), an active layer (40–100 cm), a sub-active layer (100–200 cm), and a relatively stable layer (200–500 cm), respectively. The soil water content had good spatial structure characteristics except for the 0-40 cm and 100-200 cm soil layers in the hilly and gully region slope, which can be well simulated by the theoretical semi-variance function model. The surface SMC of the fitting model were spherical model in general, while the deep soil water content were gaussian model. There were significant differences for the correlations between soil water content in the three slopes and the influencing factors of topography, soil texture and vegetation. There was a significant correlation between the SMC in tableland gully region and the bulk density, altitude and leaf area index (P>0.01). The soil water contents in hilly and gully region and water-wind erosion crisscross region were only significantly correlated with the maximum leaf area and soil texture (P>0.05), respectively. Geostatistics can be well used to express the spatial heterogeneity of soil water content on a hillslope.
