The effect of dams on dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) transport and riverine ecosystems is unclear in karst cascade reservoirs. Here, we analyzed water samples from a karst river system with seven cascade reservoirs along the Wujiang River, southwestern China, during one hydrological year. From upstream to downstream, the average concentration of DIC increased from 2.2 to 2.6 mmol/L and its carbon isotope composition (delta C-13(DIC)) decreased from -8.0 to -10 parts per thousand. Meanwhile, the air temperature (Ta) increased from 20.3 degrees C to 26.7 degrees C and 10 degrees C to 13.7 degrees C in the warm and cold seasons, respectively. The results suggest that a cascade of dams has a stronger effect on DIC dynamics and retention than a single dam. The good correlation between Ta/HRT (hydraulic retention time) and Delta[DIC] as well as Delta[delta C-13(DIC)] mean that Ta and HRT affected the magnitude of the damming effect by altering changes in concentration of DIC and delta C-13(DIC) in the reservoir compared to the inflowing water. In particular, daily regulated reservoirs with short retention times acted more like river corridors and had a smaller effect on carbon dynamics, so modulating retention time might be used reduce the effect of dams on the riverine ecosystem.
