Nutrient and heavy metal (Fe, Mn, Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, Cd and As) concentrations in porewater in sediment cores and their diffusive benthic fluxes were investigated in Daya Bay, South China, to study the accumulation and transfer of nutrients/metals at the sediment-water interface, and to discuss the impact of human activities on nutrients/metals. Nutrients and heavy metals displayed different profiles in porewater, which was mainly attributed to the distinct biogeochemical conditions in sediments. Total mean fluxes of nutrients (except NO3 and NO2) and metals in study area were positive, indicating nutrients and metals diffused from the sediment to overlying water, and sediment was generally the source of nutrients/metals. Human activities and the weak hydrodynamic force made nutrients/metals accumulate in sediment, so the sediment should be paid more attention to as the endogenesis of contamination in Daya Bay waters.
