Short summary
This study investigates the mechanisms driving anomalous phytoplankton blooms in the East China Sea (ECS) during El Niño decaying summers. The findings highlight three key mechanisms: increased river runoff, nutrient transport through the Taiwan Strait, and wind-driven upwelling, all linked to the western North Pacific anticyclone (WNPAC).
