The Blob marine heatwave transforms California kelp forest ecosystems

K. M. Michaud, D. C. Reed, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Kristen M. Michaud, Daniel C. Reed, and Robert J. Miller reveals how the 'Blob,' a marine heatwave, has dramatically reshaped sessile invertebrate communities in Southern California's kelp forests, leading to lasting declines in biodiversity and changes in community structure.
