Abstract In this study, by connecting the newly fast-response automated gas equilibrator (FaRAGE) to a greenhouse gas analyzer, we investigated dissolved methane concentration (DMC) at the near-surface and its vertical profiles in the water column at a high resolution in channel-type reservoir-Xibeikou Reservoir in December 2021, together with measurements of water methane oxidation rate and sediment methane release rate on individual sampling sites, we preliminarily discussed the spatial heterogeneity and related influencing factors of DMC. The results showed that the DMC at the surface water ranged from 0.02 to 0.42μmol/L, with a mean of 0.11±0.08μmol/L and increased from the end to the head of the reservoir. The spatial heterogeneity of DMC in the water column within the reservoir was mainly attributed to CH4 production in sediment, CH4 consumption in the water column, and the inflow from the river; accordingly, high DMC in the water column of the reservoir tail resulted from the high CH4 production and low CH4 consumption due to shallow water, while low DMC in the water column of the reservoir head was caused by relatively low CH4 production and high CH4 consumption due to deep water; meanwhile, the inflow from the river may be one of the reasons for the vertical stratification of DMC.
