Rivers and lakes sediments are adjacent to water, which also affects water quality directly or indirectly. In order to investigate the effects of grain size and nutrient characteristics of the shallow sediments on water environment and bottom nutrient environment, the grain size and related nutrient elements of the shallow sediments in different sites of Huajin River are measured, and then their potential effects on river water quality are analyzed. The results show that: ① the pH of the Huajin River shallow sediments is 7.6, and the average contents of TC, TOC, TN, TH, TS of shallow sediments are 26.2, 18.7, 2.5, 7.7 and 2.6 g/kg, respectively. C/N and H/S are 10.48 and.3.19.The grain size of shallow sediments is mainly silt, which accounts for 62%~ 83%. The content of clay and sand are lower relatively, but the content of sand was significantly different among different sampling points. ② Sediment OM varies between 29.39 and 37.24 g/kg, which is much higher than the organic pollution standard. The nutrient status of the river is at the mesotrophic and eutrophic level, which is mainly affected by water disturbance and the input of exogenous organic matter, and thus potential risks to water environment exist. ③ The grain size of shallow sediment has a great effect on its nutrient status. The sand grains of sediment are negatively correlated with TH, with a correlation coefficient of 0.68, which is only positively correlated with TS in nutrient elements. The silt grains are positively correlated with TH, with a correlation coefficient of 0.62, which is negatively correlated with TS. The clay grains are positively correlated with various nutrient indicators, in which significant positively correlated with TH and TN, with the correlation coefficients are 0.71 and 0.54, respectively. Therefore, the nutrient status and grain size characteristics of river shallow sediments can be used as important potential indicators for water environmental management.
