[Objective] The purposes of this paper are to evaluate the characteristics of carbon and nitrogen in soils with different proportion of arsenic sandstone and sand under different cultivation years in Mu Us sand land, and to determine whether the newly-formed soil structure can develop continuously and steadily.[Methods] Based on the data of field plots from 2013 to 2016, the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of soil organic matter and total nitrogen and the relationship between the three proportions of sandstone and sand in different planting years were studied.[Results] ① The soil organic matter and total nitrogen content of different proportions showed a steady upward trend with the number of crop cultivation years; ② In the four years, the soil organic matter and total nitrogen content of the three compound soils showed 1:1 > 1:2 > 1:5, and the difference was significantly different from that in 2013(p < 0.01). ③ There were significant positive correlations between soil organic matter and total nitrogen in the three proportions under different planting years. The correlation coefficients were 0.86, 0.89 and 0.74.[Conclusion] Proportions and cultivation years are important factors affecting the contents of organic matter and total nitrogen in newly constructed soil.
