Abstract: The Shuibuya Reservoir over the Qingjiang River Basin was selected as a typical reservoir to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of carbon cycle in large hydropower reservoir intercepting rive eco-system in this study. The spatial and temporal distribution of carbon in surface water were obtained by analyzing water sampling using vario TOC analyzer in laboratory and other aquatic environment parameters was attained by HACH hydro-lab multi-parameters water quality analyzer in field experiments. The results showed that the monthly mean concentration of total carbon, total inorganic carbon, dissolved organic carbon and particulate organic carbon in surface water from the Shuibuya Reservoir were 26.665 mg/L, 24.089 mg/L, 2.141 mg/L and 0.438 mg/L, respectively during measurement. The carbon concentrations peaked in spring and autumn, while valleyed in summer and winter. Inorganic carbon accounts for most of total carbon and the spatial variation of all carbon parameters mentioned above over the whole reservoir was very different at measurement stations, which is similar with that of lakes. The Shuibuya Reservoir was affected by both human activities and natural environment. Inorganic concentration was strongly related with water conductivity, dissolved organic carbon in water was strongly related with water temperature and chlorophyll concentration in surface water exerted more influences on the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of less particulate organic carbon in surface water over the Shuibuya Reservoir. This study is expected to provide more supports and in-situ data for understanding aquatic carbon cycle of reservoir and play a pivotal role to evaluate the effects of dam construction on aquatic ecosystem.

Key words: Qingjiang Basin, Shuibuya Reservoir, aquatic carbon cycle in reservoir, carbon in surface water, spatial and temporal distribution
