Weakened resilience of benthic microbial communities in the face of climate change

Read this recently published article in ISME Communications from AMRI researchers Laura Seidel, Mark Dopson (et. al), which examined benthic microbial communities in a naturally heated Swedish bay outside of the Oskarshamn power plant. The study is a fascinating and rare opportunity to study climate change scenarios in Baltic Sea water that has been naturally warmed for over 50 years.
