Soil temperature and soil moisture regime are two important parameters characterizing soil properties, and two important factors affecting physical, chemical and biological processes of soil formation, and can be used to serve as reference and basis for dividing certain soil suborders, soil groups and soil subgroups in soil taxonomy. Besides, as heat and moisture exchanges occur frequently between the soil and the atmosphere, climate directly affects the soil in hydrothermal condition. Therefore, 60 years (1951-2010) of daily meteorological observation data of 142 meteorological observation stations in Hebei Province, annual cumulative mean aridity index and soil temperature at each station was calculated using the Selianinov’s equation and soil temperature interpolation method. Results of the calculation were subjected to spatial analysis using the geostatistic method and then the GIS spatial analytic technology for laws of the spatio-temporal variation of soil temperature and meteorological aridity and humidity, which can not only be cited to verify the research methods used by the precedent researchers, but also be applied to the soil taxonomy. Results show: (1) during the 60 years the annual mean soil temperature and mean aridity indices displayed a rising trend, with rising rate much higher in the first 30 years than in the second 30 years, which indicates that soil aridity in the province was gradually aggravating; (2) The soils in the province can roughly be divided into two types in terms of soil temperature, i.e. cold soil and warm soil. Compared with the first 30 years, the second 30 years witnessed warm soils expanding 14.26km towards north over an area of 5665 km². Air temperature displayed a similar pattern, moving 18.63km towards north over an area of 6539 km²; And (3) Soil moisture regime varied significantly from region to region, demonstrating an apparent zonality. Surface soil moisture regime in the province can be divided into humid, semi humid and semi-arid. From the perspective of spatial distribution, areas high in aridity are mainly distributed in the southern part of Hebei and the Sangyang basin in Zhangjiakou, while areas low in aridity are mainly in the low-mountains and hills regions along the south piedmont of the Yanshan Mountains, like the southwest of Chengde, the north of Tangshan, a large portion of the central north of Qinhuangdao and a small portion of the north of Hebei, indicating that the climate is obviously more humid in the east and north parts of the province than in the west and south parts, which also indirectly reveals distribution of soil moisture; From the perspective of temporal variation, compared with the first 30 years, the second 30 years had aridity index increased by 0.01 ~0.85 in Bashang plateau, the east part of Hebei and areas south to the Handan-Qinghe-Renxian-Pingxiang line, and decreased by 0.01 ~0.59 in the northeast part of the province, North Hebei Plateau and east part of the central south plain , indicating that air moisture regime varied with time, which in turn affected soil moisture regime in the province. It used to be held that the Plateau in Northwest Hebei province was in the category of semi-arid zone and the remaining part of the province could mostly be sorted into semi humid zone, which is different from the findings of this research. The findings of this study could serve as reference for using quantified diagnostic characteristics in the soil taxonomy to replace the concept of zonality in the traditional soil classification.
