The ecology of the North Atlantic is constantly changing. Sometimes it changes abruptly. Extreme events are one driver of such sudden changes. A team of researchers has discovered that a single, large-scale heat wave has affected ecosystems and trophic interactions in the subpolar North Atlantic, and the effects are still felt today. The study has now been published in Science Advances.
