///For obtaining the characteristics of hydrochemistry and isotope,groundwater samples in wet and dry seasons from 63 karst subterranean streams in Chongqing are collected in this paper.The results show that the HCO3- is the dominant species of the DIC in ground waters and the concentration of HCO3- is lower in wet season than dry season due to dilution.δ13C-DIC(V-PDB) in karst subterranean streams in Chongqing varies from -15.34‰~-5.89‰in dry season and from -17.40‰~-4.23‰ in wet season.The widely variations of δ13C in wet season show the complex origins of carbon in karst subterranean streams in wet season.Based on the δ13C isotope mass balance equation,the amount of DIC that comes from the carbonate rock dissolution is calculated in this paper.The calculated results show that 45.1%~79.7% of the DIC in the dry season and 34.6%~82.1% in the wet season is from dissolution of carbonate rocks in karst groundwater.The calculated results also shows that the DIC and the corresponding δ13C proportion originated from the carbonate rock dissolution is not necessarily 50% according to the molar ration of karst chemical reaction equation,but has a changes range at some extend.As a result,this paper suggests that the authors should deduct first the DIC originated from the carbonate rock dissolution using the δ13C when we calculate the carbon sink of karst processes,and then calculate further the karst carbon sink.
