Short summary
Climate change is driving more frequent and intense heavy rainfall worldwide. We show that the massive runoff from the Yangtze River strongly regulates microbial productivity by altering nutrient balance and the bioavailability of dissolved organic carbon, providing insights into how climate change may affect marine ecosystems. Our findings are applicable to other ocean basins (e.g., the Amazon River and the Arctic Ocean) that receive substantial freshwater input accompanied by heavy rainfall.
