Data_Sheet_1_Photophysiological Responses of Canopy-Forming Kelp Species to Short-Term Acute Warming.PDF
The frequency of short-term oceanic warming events [“marine heatwaves” (MHWs) or heat spikes] has increased over the past century and is projected to further increase because of anthropogenic climate change. Given that marine organisms are strongly influenced by temperature, an increased occurrence...

The frequency of short-term oceanic warming events [“marine heatwaves” (MHWs) or heat spikes] has increased over the past century and is projected to further increase because of anthropogenic climate change. Given that marine organisms are strongly influenced by temperature, an increased occurrence of warming events could alter the structure of populations, communities, and ecosystems. The distribution and ecophysiological performance of kelp species – globally important foundation species that play significant roles in nutrient cycling and habitat creation in temperate coastal systems – is particularly constrained by temperature. However, their photophysiological responses to warming events remains unclear, which hinders attempts to understand, and predict the effects of ocean warming on kelp populations and the ecosystems they underpin. Here, we experimentally simulated a heat spike (+2°C and +4°C in magnitude, 3 days in duration, and compared with ambient controls) and examined the photophysiological responses of two canopy-forming kelp species widely distributed across the northeast Atlantic – Laminaria digitata and Laminaria hyperborea.
