However, less is known about regional phytoplankton responses to short-term climate extremes, despite their increasing severity and profound ecological impacts. In this study, we broadly investigate spatiotemporal changes in phytoplankton phenology across Spanish marine ecoregions using 26 years of high-resolution L4 chlorophyll-a data from Copernicus’ multisatellite observations. We identify a regionally dependent trend toward less intense, longer-lasting coastal phytoplankton blooms that initiate and terminate earlier, accompanied by a decline in seasonality over the past decade. Notably, we find greater variability in the reproducibility of phytoplankton seasonal cycles during years of pronounced climatic instability. Further, using cutting-edge analytical methods, we empirically reveal causal, nonlinear relationships between dynamical changes in phytoplankton phenology and thermal (i.e., marine heatwaves) and wind-speed (i.e., Windiness) extremes. Our findings improve predictive skill for phytoplankton responses to transient climate events, providing evidence of their influence in shaping phytoplankton dynamics; insights particularly relevant for anticipating ecological and socioeconomic impacts.This research was funded by the European Union –NextGeneration EU– as part of the MITECO program for the Spanish Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (Recovery and Resilience Facility of the European Union established by the Regulation (EU) 2020/2094), and was entrusted to CSIC, AZTI, SOCIB, and the Universities of Vigo and Cadiz; and the OAPN (Observatorio TIAMAT, REF: 2715/2021).
