Large-scale shift in the structure of a kelp forest ecosystem co-occurs with an epizootic and marine heatwave

Meredith McPherson et al. use a 34-year time series of satellite and in situ derived data to study bull kelp forests of northern California and demonstrate the ecosystem shifts following a marine heatwave event between 2014 and 2016. The results show that increased herbivory by sea urchins due to th...
