Short summary
To understand the flooding effects on a pelagic ecosystem in the East China Sea (ECS), a variety of variables were measured in 2009 (non-flood) and 2010 (flood). In 2010, the organic carbon consumption was higher than in 2009; this could be attributed to the vigorous plankton activities observed in low-salinity areas. A huge amount of f CO2 was also drawn down in the flood. This flood effect might become more pronounced as extreme rainfall events increase dramatically throughout the world.
