Variations in gas transport parameters at the field scale govern the transport, fate and emission of greenhouse gases and volatile organic chemicals in soil. In this study, we analyzed spatial variability and evaluated predictive models for soil-gas diffusivity (D
p) and air permeability (k
a) based on measurements along a 117-m long transect and a parallel 33-m short transect of a volcanic ash soil (Andisol) in Nishi-Tokyo, Japan. Measurements were done on 100-cm
3 undisturbed soil samples, with 3-m spacing between sampling points, and included water retention, D
p and k
a at different soil-water matric potentials, and saturated hydraulic conductivity (K
s). Traditionally-used gas diffusivity models including the Millington-Quirk and Buckingham-Burdine-Campbell (BBC) models underestimated D
p at field capacity moisture content (~-100 cm H
2O matric potential) and largely over-estimated D
p under very dry conditions, likely due to effects of soil aggregation. A simple linear model (Penman-Call) for D
p as a function of air-filled porosity (
e), taking into account inactive air-filled pore volume (
ein), accurately described D
p from wet to oven-dry conditions, and well captured the spatial variations in D
p along the transects. Air permeability also exhibited an almost linear increase with
e but data showed no evidence of
ein effects, and k
a was best predicted from a newly presented power-law model (Kawamoto-Alexander) with k
a at -100 cm H
2O matric potential as the measured reference point. Trends of decreasing soil-water retention and increasing
e and D
p were observed along the transects. Similar trends in k
a and K
s were not observed, likely due to that the convective fluid transport parameters were mainly governed by soil structure instead of fluid phase contents. Autocorrelograms suggested a spatial correlation range of 10-20 m for all three transport parameters (D
p, k
a, K
s). Also, K
s was highly correlated with k
a at -100 cm H
2O matric potential. Measurements of
e and k
a at around -100 cm H
2O matric potential (field capacity moisture conditions) are recommended for rapid assessment of magnitude and spatial variations in gas and water transport properties at the field scale.
