Abstract: An investigation on composition and distribution of water-soluble carbon and nitrogen in farmlands (n = 4) and wastelands (n = 4) of different salinized soils in Tianjin City, China was carried out. Results show that the soluble organic carbon (SOC) ranges from 26.1～46.4 mg/kg and 19.6～77.8 mg/kg in farmlands and wastelands, respectively. SOC has a trend of drop-rise-stable from topsoil to subsoil. The total soluble nitrogen (TSN), NO3--N and soluble organic nitrogen (SON) in farmlands appear higher than in wastelands, and the average contents in farmlands are 0.84～5.9, 10.8～10.5, and 0.9～8.7 times as in wastelands, respectively. The NO3--N and SON are the main form of TSN, accounting for 38%～72% and 26%～60% of the TSN in the farmlands, and 32%～75% and 16%～58% of the TSN in the wastelands, respectively. The NO3--N and SON are mainly accumulated in topsoil and subsoil in farmland profiles, but mainly in topsoil in wasteland profiles, and have a higher risk of leaching losses in farmlands.
