It has frequently been noticed that alkaline soils in arid and semiarid areas can absorb atmospheric CO2 abiotically. However, the fate of the absorbed CO2 is largely unknown, limiting our ability to accurately assess the contribution of abiotic CO2 absorption to carbon sequestration. The hypothesis that some abiotically-absorbed carbon could be fixed in the soil solid phase is yet to be explicitly tested. From April to November 2016, we added (CO2)-C-13 to the natural alkaline loess soil at a depth of 0-17 cm and quantified the proportion of (CO2)-C-13 conserved in the soil solid phase on the central Loess Plateau of China. The results showed that natural surface soil absorbed (CO2)-C-13 at a rate of 475.9 mg m(-2) d(-1). Of the absorbed (CO2)-C-13, 33.2% was conserved in the soil solid phase. The rate of added (CO2)-C-13 conserved in the solid phase was positively correlated with mean monthly soil water content but negatively correlated with mean monthly soil temperature. Our results indicated that, loess soil can absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through abiotic processes, and part of the abiotically-absorbed CO2 is stably fixed in the soil solid phase. Soil with a higher water content and lower temperature may promote the abiotic CO2 fixation. The rate of CO2 fixation through abiotic processes at the surface soil accounted for approximately 10%-20% of the reported local annual net ecosystem exchange, implying that the abiotic CO2 uptake by loess soil may play an important role in assessing the capacity of CO2 sequestration in these areas.
