Based on the low hill small red soil watershed in the Ecological Experiment Station of Red Soil of China Academy of Sciences, the variations of nutrient concentrations in the sediments(0-5 cm, 5-10 cm, 10-15 cm, 15-20 cm, 20-25 cm, 25-30 cm)of 4 ponds under the slopes of different land use patterns were investigated. The 4 ponds were B pond (locateal in the downside slope of Chinese chestnut land)，C pond (locateal in the vicinity of the village)，H pond (locateal in the downside slope of peanut land) and S pond (locateal in the downside slope of paddy field respectively. The results showed that： The nutrient concentrations in sediment of 4 ponds were differed obviously. The highest concentrations of TOC, TN, AN and TP in 0-15 cm sediment were appeared in C pond, and the lowest were in H pond. In 15-30 cm sediment, the highest concentrations of TOC and AN were found in B pond, while TN and TP were found in C pond. The concentrations of AP of the sediment in 4 ponds were trace except the 0-15 cm sediment in C pond with low level. This suggested that the land use patterns had significant effect on the nutrient concentrations in the sediments of the ponds. The nutrient concentrations of the sediments (0-30 cm) in 4 ponds all decreased from surface to bottom. The TN and AN with the maximal descent were found in C pond, and the TOC and TP were both in B pond. The most descents of nutrient concentrations in sediment in each pond appeared in superficial sediment layers. The accelerations of the nutrient accumulating in sediment indicated that the export of nutrient from each land use pattern had increased in recent years obviously, and one of the main causes of the nutrient enhancement in the sediment was the transform of the traditional agricultural cultivation fashions.
