Based on the fixed-point observation data of soil moisture in different soil layers (0~150 cm) of fixed dunes and sandy grassland in the semi-arid region of Horqin Sandy Land, in the growing season (May to September) from 2005 to 2014, we conducted a comparative study on the seasonal, inter-annual, and spatial dynamics of soil moisture in the two types of sandy land. The results revealed that: (1) in the growing season, the soil moisture in sandy grassland was significantly higher than that in fixed dunes, and the multi-year average soil moisture in both types of sandy land was higher in July than in other months; (2) from 2005 to 2014, the average soil moisture in both types of sandy land was relatively high in 2010, and the average soil moisture in sandy grassland increased gradually with each year; specifically, there was a significant increase in soil moisture in June, while the average soil moisture in fixed dunes did not show an obvious increase; (3) the soil moisture in fixed dunes and sandy grassland generally showed a trend of “first increase, then decrease, and finally increase again”, with the increase in soil depth, and this change was more obvious for sandy grassland.
