The effects of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) increase and Marine Heat Wave (MHW) events on the plankton communities will be experimentally studied and compared to a detailed time-series of phytoplankton and microbial community composition acquired from environmental DNA (eDNA) since 2014. A novel focus to time-series observations will provide detailed
knowledge of the key species (ranging from microbe to metazoans) associated with dominant phytoplankton species within the NWA ecosystem. The potential effect of MHW on the natural communities of phytoplankton of a coastal ecosystem in manipulative incubations of water samples at ambient and elevated temperatures. Novel phytoplankton species will be isolated and cultivated in the laboratory and used for manipulative temperature shift experiments., description french : Évaluation des effets des évènements de température extrême sur les communautés phytoplanctoniques de l’Atlantique Nord-Ouest, expected results english : In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems., expected results french : À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides., additional information english : This agreement has been amended 2 time(s).
