Progressive changes in the Western English Channel foster a reorganization in the plankton food web
Highlights: • We unveil regional progressive climate modifications fostering the entire plankton food web. • Hydroclimate shifts have progressively impacted the seasonality of plankton. • The profound plankton reorganization warns on the replacement of local species by cosmopolitan ones.
