Effects of Soil and Water Loss on Reservoir Carbon Sink in Karst Watersheds
[Objective] The impacts of soil erosion on reservoir carbon sinks in karst watersheds were studied
in order to provide scientific basis for regional soil erosion control and scientific assessment of carbon cycle in river ecosystems in karst areas.[Methods] Based on hydrological data of Nayong River from 2014 to 2018 and water chemistry monitoring data of Pingzhai Reservoir at the downstream from 2017 to 2018
regression analysis
correlation analysis
and water chemistry analysis were used to study the effects of soil erosion on reservoir carbon sinks.[Results] ① During period from 2014 to 2018
the flow of the Nayong River ranged from 1.151 to 1.663 billion m3/a
and sediment flux ranged from 25.36 to 1.224 7 million t/a. Sediment flux and water flow were not correlated between years but showed a highly significant positive correlation on the monthly time scale. The short-time intense rainfall was one of the main reasons for the occurrence of soil erosion in the watershed. The erosion was intense in spring and summer and weak in autumn and winter. ② Ca2+ and HCO3- were the main anions in Pingzhai Reservoir
which came from carbonate rock weathering. SO42- was the second most important anion
participating in 30.30%~59.70% of carbonate rock weathering in the reservoir. Reservoir water chemistry type was HCO3--Ca type in autumn and winter
and mainly HCO3--SO42--Ca type in spring and summer. ③ The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the reservoir of Pingzhai Reservoir showed spatial and temporal heterogeneity as:winter > autumn > spring > summer
which were showed as carbon sources during autumn and winter
and as carbon sinks while spring and summer.[Conclusion] Soil erosion and reservoir carbon sink effect in Pingzhai Reservoir basin have the same periodic seasonal changes
soil erosion affects reservoir water chemistry and weakens reservoir carbon sink effect.
