  • The high CO2 concentration in Xueyue cave, Chongqing, is rare at home and abroad. However, the circulation characteristics of carbon and its controlling factors in this cave system remain unknown. PCO2-soil, PCO2-cave, PCO2-eq, SIc, and δ13CDIC of subterranean stream were analyzed to investigate the laws of CO2 concentration variations in Xueyu cave and its contolling factors, as well as the impact on carbon cycle in this cave by subterranean stream. It is found that soil PCO2 mainly controlled by precipitation in subtropical areas was higher in rainy season than that of dry season. Cave air PCO2 exhibited seasonal variations, high cave air PCO2 typically occurred during warm periods, and low cave air PCO2 were typical of cold periods. It was ventilation driven by the temperature difference between cave and outside air that resulted in a sharp transition of cave air PCO2. Meanwhile, cave air PCO2 could rise to high level in a short period of time because of CO2 degassing from subterranean stream. Due to soil CO2 effect, groundwater became more mineralized water with low SIc and high water PCO2-eq, and dissolution in some months in rainy season. With the reduction of soil CO2 and precipitation, groundwater had low degree of mineralization with high SIc and low water PCO2-eq in dry season.
