In 1998-1999, contents of inorganic nitrogen (NH4-N, NO3-N and NO2-N) in water and sediment of intertidal flats of the Shanghai coast were investigated at three stations (CY, DH and LY). Results show that the main form of inorganic nitrogen in water of intertidal flats is of NO3-N with a wide range (37.2~226.1 mol-1); most of exchangeable N in surface intertidal sediments is of NH4-N, accounting for 70%~85%; NH4-N and NO3-N are the main form of inorganic N in pore water of surface sediments. Content distributions of NH4-N, NO3-N and NO2-N in water and sediment of intertidal flats vary seasonally. The basic factors affecting the seasonal variation of inorganic N were discussed. Moreover, the diffusion fluxes of NH4-N, NO3-N and NO2-N between water and intertidal sediment interface were estimated, indicating that NH4-N in sediments may play an important role in the Yangtze estuarine and coastal environment.
