[Objective] The changes of soil temperature and maximum frozen depth in Horqin sand and meadow land were to provide support for reasonable guide of the agricultural production and construction.[Methods] Based on the artificial observation data from 2007 to 2015 during the freezing and thawing period, variability of soil temperature and maximum frozen depth in Horqin sand and meadow land were analyzed and compared during the freezing-thawing period.[Results] Changes of the standard deviation of soil temperature in sand and meadow land at 100 cm were basically the same, and values of meadow land were less than the ones of sand land. But the later melting period of meadow land lasted longer time, whereby its standard deviation was greater than the one of sand. Considering the impact of soil temperature and soil moisture on maximum frozen depth at the same time, the determinant coefficient of R² at depth of 200 cm in sand and 140 cm in meadow land were 0.959 and 0.788, respectively.[Conclusion] Sand land froze and melted in advance in the study area, maximum frozen depth in sand was deeper than the one of meadow land. If soil temperature and soil moisture were considered at the same time, correlation coefficient to the maximum frozen depth was greater than the corresponding value of only single variable included. Soil temperature and soil moisture were negative correlated with the maximum frozen depth in sand and meadow land.
