Based on overlying water and sediment sample collection from 15 sites during July, September, November 2018 and January 2019 in the hydro-fluctuation belt of Danjiangkou reservoir China, the variation of nitrogen (N) was studied. And the concentrations of NH4+-N, NO3−-N and NO2−-N in the sediment, pore water and overlying water were determined to evaluate the diffusion flux across the water–sediment interface. The results showed that the lowest sediment N concentration was 36.54 mg/L in July, and the highest one was 145.93 mg/L in November. Spatially, the sediment N concentrations were higher in tidal soil and loam than in sandy soil. According to the diffusion fluxes of NH4+, NO3− and NO2−, sediments at all sites tend to release N to the overlying water except in the sampling month of November, when the sediment acts as a sink of NO3−. The highest release rates of NH4+-N and NO3−-N were 17.66 mg m−2·d−1 and 80.15 mg m−2·d−1, respectively, which are much higher than the release rate of NO2−-N (0.29 mg m−2·d−1). The findings indicate that hydro-fluctuation belt sediment contributes a lot to the nitrogen contents in the overlying water, and internal pollution is a main reason for the water quality deterioration and even eutrophication.
