To estimate the spatiotemporal characteristics of CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and water-air interface CO2 flux (FCO2) along the Yangtze River, this study selected eight monitoring sections along the main channel of the river from upstream to downstream. Based on water quality data from 2020 to 2022, pCO2 and FCO2 were calculated using the CO2 SYS software. The spatiotemporal variations of pCO2 and FCO2 were analyzed, and the relationships between pCO2, FCO2, and environmental factors were assessed using the Mantel test. The results show that from 2020 to 2022, pCO2 in the Yangtze River ranged from 450.02 to 3 615.88 μatm, which was higher than the global atmospheric CO2 average partial pressure of 414.78 μatm during the same period. Spatially, the distribution of pCO2 was as follows: midstream > upstream > estuary. The average values of water-air FCO2 during 2020-2022 were 40.25 mol/(m2·a), 74.74 mol/(m2·a), and 61.85 mol/(m2·a), respectively, with a spatial distribution of upstream > midstream > estuary. The Yangtze River is in a state of CO2 oversaturation, and that the water-air FCO2 flux showed an overall increasing trend from 2020 to 2022. pCO2 exhibited a significant positive correlation with water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH, while FCO2 was positively correlated with pH, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity.
