[Objective] We aimed to analyze the relationships between soil properties and saturated hydraulic conductivity and altitude in order to provide the reference for soil properties and spatial heterogeneity of soil water proerties in the study area. [Methods] The ring knife was used to collect soil samples in six different sampling plot in Jiufeng low altitude area of Beijing City. Soil properties were analyzed and water penetration was surveyed. [Results] No significant correlation have been found between soil bulk density, total porosity and 0.25 water stable aggregates and altitude. The soil water content and gravel content showed a significant correlation with altitude. Soil water content increased while gravel content decreased with the increase of altitude. There was a significant correlation between high pore density and saturated hydraulic conductivity and altitude. In the 0—20 cm soil layer, macropore density and water conductivity increased with the increase of altitude. In 30—60 cm soil layers, macropore density and water conductivity decreased with the increase of altitude. [Conclusion] The effects of altitude on soil structure and water transport capacity is odvious, it should not be ignored in the future studies.
