Global warming is triggering significant shifts in temperate macroalgal communities worldwide, favoring small, warm-affinity species over large canopy-forming, cold-affinity species. The Cantabrian Sea, a region acutely impacted by climate change, also witnessing this shift. This study delved into the impacts of increasing sea surface temperature on subtidal southeastern Bay Biscay last four decades, using data from years 1982, 2007, 2014, and 2020. We found that has shaped community...
Abstract As offshore wind energy expands in Europe, maritime planners increasingly need to consider the potential effects of these activities on different types marine protected areas (MPAs), including Natura 2000 sites. The aim this article is critically review initial development inside and/or vicinity Mediterranean sites and other MPAs. western Sea taken as an example where most developments have been proposed. In order open up discussion policy guide ecological research that supports...
Climate change is causing significant shifts in biological communities worldwide, including the degradation of marine communities. Previous research has predicted that southern Bay Biscay canopy-forming subtidal macroalgal will shift into turf-forming Mediterranean-like by end century. These predictions were based on a community-environment relationship model used abundance data and IPCC environmental projections. We have tested short-term accuracy resampling same locations four years later...
Rising global temperatures present unprecedented challenges to marine ecosystems, demanding a profound understanding of their ecological dynamics for effective conservation strategies. Over comprehensive macroalgal assessment spanning three decades, we investigated the spatiotemporal evolution shallow-water benthic communities in southern Bay Biscay, uncovering climate-resilient areas amidst ongoing phase shift region. Our investigation identified seven locations serving as potential climate...
