Western Jilin Province is one of the world's three major saline–alkali land distribution areas, and is also an important area of global climate change and carbon cycle research. Rhizosphere soil microorganisms and enzymes are the most active components in soil, which are closely related to soil carbon cycle and can reflect soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics sensitively. Soil inorganic carbon (SIC) is the main existing form of soil carbon pool in arid saline–alkali land, and its quantity distribution affects the pattern of soil carbon accumulation and storage. Previous studies mostly focus on SOC, and pay little attention to SIC. Illumina Miseq high-throughput sequencing technology was used to reveal the changes of community structure in three maize fields (M1, M2 and M3) and three rice fields (R1, R2 and R3), which were affected by different levels of salinization during soil development. It is a new research topic of soil carbon cycle in saline–alkali soil region to investigate the effects of soil microorganisms and soil enzymes on the transformation of SOC and SIC in the rhizosphere. The results showed that the root—soil—microorganism interaction was changed by saline–alkali stress. The activities of catalase, invertase, amylase and  β -glucosidase decreased with increasing salinity. At the phylum level, most bacterial abundance decreases with increasing salinity. However, the relative abundance of  Proteobacteria  and  Firmicutes  in maize field and  Firmicutes ,  Proteobacteria  and  Nitrospirae  in rice field increased sharply under saline–alkali stress. The results of redundancy analysis showed that the differences of rhizosphere soil between the three maize and three rice fields were mainly affected by ESP, pH and soil salt content. In saline–alkali soil region,  β -glucosidase activity and amylase were significantly positively correlated with SOC content in maize fields, while catalase and  β -glucosidase were significantly positively correlated with SOC content in rice fields.  Actinobacteria ,  Bacteroidetes  and  Verrucomicrobia  had significant positive effects on SOC content of maize and rice fields.  Proteobacteria ,  Gemmatimonadetes  and  Nitrospirae  were positively correlated with SIC content. These enzymes and microorganisms are beneficial to soil carbon sequestration in saline–alkali soils.
