Abstract: The diversity of soils derived from different parent materials and developed on different terrains in Shandong Province, China, was analyzed with the theory of pedodiversity using a 1:1000000 scale soils and terrain digital database （SOTER） of Shandong Province in a geographical information system （GIS） environment. Diversity index of soils derived from different parent materials followed the sequence of igneous rock ＞ sedimentary rock ＞ metamorphic rock ＞ unconsolidated material. Diversity index of soils developed on different terrains followed the sequence of plain ＞ medium-gradient mountain ＞ medium-gradient hill ＞ valley floor ＞ medium-gradient escarpment zone ＞ depression ＞ high-gradient mountain. Abundance distributions of these soil groups matched the logarithmic normal distributions.
