The transformation of urea (U) and ammonium sulfate (AS) in an artificially salinized calcareous soil was evaluated. It was found that high NH4-N concentrations were measured in soil-amended with (U) as compared to (AS) for all test salinity levels. The nitrification rates (NR) of both N fertilizers were negatively and significantly correlated with soil salinity (r or equal to 0.972** at P=0.01), while they were positively correlated (r or equal to 0.991** ) with incubation period. However, the nitrification and (NR) of (AS) were significantly higher than that of (U) under saline conditions
