      Abstract
    • Soil carbon storage in alpine regions is an important component of the global frost carbon pool. Lateral carbon export from terrestrial ecosystems to rivers in dissolved phase is an important pathway for soil carbon export from alpine catchments. Previous studies on dissolved carbon export from alpine catchments have focused on permafrost areas, and less attention has been paid to seasonal frost areas. To explore the patterns, influencing factors and mechanisms of dissolved carbon export through rivers in seasonal frost areas, we selected the Hongnigou catchment at the northern flank of the Qilian Mountains on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau as the study area, and we made continuous observations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations and fluxes in river water. Combining the observed data of stable isotope abundance in river water and meteorology, hydrology, and ground temperature in the catchment, it is found that: (1) during the early thawing period in late spring, the riverine DOC and DIC at the outlet of the catchment were high in concentration but low in flux; (2) during the late thawing period in summer, the riverine DOC and DIC were low in concentration but high in flux; and (3) both DOC and DIC concentrations in the river showed an overall decreasing trend in summer, but slightly increased during low flow periods compared to high flow periods. The study shows that for the alpine catchments underlaid by seasonal frost, represented by the Hongnigou catchment, the dissolved carbon export is mainly influenced by frost characteristics and dynamics during the early thawing period. However, during the late thawing period in summer, it becomes dominated by hydrological input characteristics. During this period, the thin aquifers consisting mainly of fine-grained residual deposits and the widespread freeze-thaw disturbed landforms also have significant impacts, resulting in a higher riverine DOC concentration than that reported in other areas of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.
