Extreme events potentially modify the physical and biogeochemical environment resulting in dramatic changes in phytoplankton community structure. In this study, the impact of ten well-identified storms on phytoplankton communities was explored in a productive temperate coastal ecosystem, the eastern English Channel (EEC). Our study targeted the summer season…
