In China, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin (MLRYRB) is a core region suffering frequent devastating floods triggered by heavy precipitation during warm seasons, exerting serious impacts on society. However, the physical mechanisms responsible for the increasing flood-inducing...
