The speleothem stable carbon isotope (δ 13 C) is an important proxy for paleoclimate reconstruction. Understanding the stable carbon isotope composition of dissolved inorganic carbon (δ 13 C DIC) in drip water is crucial for the interpretation of speleothem δ 13 C signals. In this study, we present two years of drip water δ 13 C DIC data and its hydrogeochemistry variables (eg P C O 2, Ca 2+, Mg/Ca, SO 4 2−, pH, drip rate, saturation index of calcite, electrical conductivity) in the Shawan Cave. We also conducted continuous in situ monitoring of P C O 2 in the atmosphere, soil air, and cave air and microenvironmental factors. The results show that cave air CO 2 primarily originates from soil air CO 2, but there is an unsynchronous seasonal variation between cave air CO 2 and soil air CO 2, which is likely caused by cave ventilation. Cave ventilation is also responsible for seasonal variations in drip water δ 13 C DIC and speleothem growth. Cave air exchange leads to higher drip water δ 13 C DIC and rapid speleothem growth in the spring and summer seasons, and cave air stagnation results in lower drip water δ 13 C DIC and slow speleothem growth. The impact of isotopically light CO 2 of soil air on drip water δ 13 C DIC during spring and summer seasons is more than during autumn and winter seasons, where the more isotopically light CO 2 of soil air is enriched by drip water under cave air exchange conditions. Since speleothems growth is rapid in the spring and summer seasons, the speleothems δ 13 C of the Shawan Cave have the potential to record climate information for the spring and summer seasons. Additionally, by comparing the speleothem δ 13 C values of eleven caves, we found that paleoclimate signals recorded by speleothem δ 13 C revealed different seasonal biases under different ventilation types. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the cave ventilation type in order to understand how speleothem δ 13 C responds to climate change in a ventilated cave.
