    Abstract
  • he hydrogeochemistry of cave drip water is an important environmental index in cave systems, to which the monitoring may be an essential solution for paleoclimate reconstruction. In this study, we collected samples from three drip points in the Liangfeng cave of Guilin City, southwest China, from January to December 2017. During the monitoring period, we measured the hydrogeochemical properties of the drip water (electrical conductivity, pH, Ca2+, HCO3-), and CO2 concentration was simultaneously collected at the same monitoring points. Then these monitoring proxies were compared with regional atmospheric temperatures and precipitation amounts. Results show that the hydrogeochemical index exhibits seasonal variations as water transforms from precipitation to cave drip water. Under the influence of the CO2 in the overlying soil layer on the top of the cave, the cave CO2 and δ13CCO2 present obvious seasonal variation patterns of high and light in summer, and low and heavy in winter, respectively. Differences in monitoring site CO2 and δ13CCO2 values are caused by the barrier of inner structure of the cave and retention time difference in epikarst. However, δ13CCO2 amplitude relative to the CO2 response is more sensitive to outside atmosphere environment, and cave CO2 the major influence factors are obviously different in different seasons. The major influence factor is soil CO2 in summer, while atmospheric CO2 is the major influence factor in winter. The hydrochemical index of drip water shows obvious seasonal variation. Although the precipitation amount increases in summer which bring more soil CO2 into the pipes or fissures of the cave, the mixing of precipitation with "old water" in the surface karst zone makes it rise slowly as a whole. The decrease of seepage water supply caused by seasonal drought in the Guilin area leads to the relative decrease of the dissolution of surrounding rock, which makes it become a hydrochemical index. In addition, the variation of the hydrochemical index of each drip point is mainly due to its different runoff paths.
