Extensional rift systems provide important pathways for the release of large amounts of deeply-sourced CO2into the atmosphere. Continental rifting zones (e.g., East African rift) are thus invoked to be important for understanding the links between CO2outgassing and global climate change associated with continental breakup. However, deeply-sourced CO2emissions from extensional rift systems in continental collision zones remain poorly understood. Here, we focus on hydrothermal CO2emissions from the southern segment of the Yadong-Gulu rift (YGR), the largest extensional rift in southern Tibetan Plateau, aiming at delineating rift-related CO2emissions from the India-Asia continental collision zone. In-situ measurements of diffuse soil CO2emissions indicate that average soil CO2fluxes from the Kangbu, Mengzha, and Chaduo hydrothermal fields are 40, 700, and 255 g m−2d−1, respectively. Combined with average soil CO2fluxes (20–437 g m−2d−1) from central and northern YGR, we speculate a relatively steady-state CO2degassing pattern for the entire rift. The magnitude of soil CO2fluxes of the YGR is higher than that of representative areas of the East African rift system. Evidence from3He/4He reveals a pure crustal origin for CO2-bearing fluids in southern YGR, while the involvement of mantle CO2is recognized in the central and northern rift segments. We suggest that metamorphic decarbonation of crustal rocks at variable depths is the primary cause for CO2origin in southern YGR, which differs from the magma‑carbonate interaction model of central and northern YGR. Ternary mixing calculation based on He-CO2systematics of hydrothermal gases indicates dominant contributions from carbonate rocks to total carbon inventory, with mantle CO2contributions absent in southern YGR but discernible in northern YGR. The characteristic high proportions of crustal CO2(>90%) distinguish the YGR from extensional rifts fed primarily by mantle CO2in continental rifting zones. Our results reveal a crustal-scale carbon cycle in accretionary wedge of the India-Asia continental collision zone, together with magmatic front setting of the central and northern YGR, outlining a transect of the rift-related CO2emissions across continental collision zones. This would contribute to better understanding the role of continental assembly in deeply-sourced CO2emissions and global carbon budget.
