The Response of Carbonate System to Watershed Urbanization Process in a Semi-Arid River

Different from rivers in humid areas,the variability of riverine CO2 system in arid areas is heavily impacted by anthro-pogenic disturbance with the increasing urbanization and water withdrawals.In this study,the water chemistry and the controls of carbonate system in an urbanized river(the Fenhe River)on the semi-arid Loess Plateau were analyzed.The water chemistry of the river water showed that the high dissolved inorganic carbon(DIC)concentration(about 37 mg L-1)in the upstream with a karst land type was mainly sourced from carbonate weathering involved by H2CO3 and H2SO4,resulting in an oversaturated partial pressure of CO2(pCO2)(about 800 μatm).In comparison,damming resulted in the widespread appearance of non-free flowing river segments,and aquatic photosynthesis dominated the DIC and pCO2 spatiality demonstrated by the enriched stable isotope of DIC(δ13CDIC).Especially in the mid-downstream flowing through major cities in warm and low-runoff August,some river segments even acted as an atmospheric CO2 sink.The noteworthy is wastewater input leading to a sudden increase in DIC(>55 mg L-1)and pCO2(>4500 μatm)in the downstream of Taiyuan City,and in cold November the increased DIC even extended to the outlet of the river.Our re-sults highlight the effects of aquatic production induced by damming and urban sewage input on riverine CO2 system in semi-arid areas,and reducing sewage discharge may mitigate CO2 emission from the rivers.
