Multiscale phytoplankton dynamics in a coastal system of the eastern English Channel: the Boulogne-sur-Mer coastal area by K. Robache, Z. Hubert, C. Gallot, C. Gallot, A. Epinoux, A. P. Louchart, A. P. Louchart, J.-V. Facq, A. Lefebvre, M. Répécaud, V. Cornille, F. Verhaeghe, Y. Audinet, L. Brutier, F. G. Schmitt, L. F. Artigas

“…Four rare events, including a salinity drop (April 2021), strong winds (May 2021 and April 2022), and a marine heat wave (July 2022), caused rapid shifts in phytoplankton community assemblage. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Lomb–Scargle periodogram (LSP) analyses revealed that <span class="inline-formula">85±10</span> % of variability in total phytoplankton abundance, red fluorescence (a proxy of chlorophyll <span class="inline-formula"><i>a</i></span>), and Shannon diversity occurred on relatively short timescales (9 h to 11 d) for time series of several months, highlighting the value of high-frequency monitoring in capturing ecological dynamics under macrotidal conditions in the eastern English Channel.…”
