In order to understand the distribution characteristics, relationships and diffusion fluxes of nutrients and metal elements across the sediment-water interface, we investigated the vertical profiles of nutrients and metal elements through the diffusive gradient in thin-films (DGT) technology in Shenzhen Bay (SZB) and Maozhou River (MZR). The two-dimensional high-resolution available sulfur (DGT-labile S) distributions were also synchronously measured. The results showed that the mean concentrations of ${\rm{NH}}_4^+ $, P and S2− and heavy metals of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn in porewater of MZR were significantly higher than those in the overlying water and the SZB, except for ${\rm{NO}}_3^- $ and Mo. The pollution degree of nutrients and metal elements in porewater of MZR was generally higher than that in SZB, but the pollutants of nutrients and metal elements in SZB were more than those in MZR. The spatial distribution of DGT-labile S in MZR indicated the distinguish bioturbation-induced tubes, which enhanced the spatial heterogeneity and led the increasing of solute concentrations with sediment depths. The diffusion fluxes of nutrients and metal elements ranged from −0.27 μg/(cm2·d) to
