	abstract = {As part of the energy transition, the French government is planning Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) constructions in the next decades. An integrated ecosystem approach of two future OWF sites of the Eastern English Channel (Courseulles-sur-mer and Dieppe-Le Tr{\'e}port) was developed to model the marine ecosystems before the OWF implementation. Such ecosystem models allow simulating the possible reef and reserve effects associated to the presence of the farm, and to character the overall changes in the food-web functioning. This holistic view of OWF effects could be replicated on other sites and form the basis of an ecosystem based management of marine renewable energies. However, to use these models for management purpose, they need to be validated. In order to do so, stable isotope ratios of nitrogen were used for determining the accuracy of the effective trophic levels computed in these two models. Results showed that trophic levels estimated by the two models were consistent with the trophic levels estimated by the independent isotopic data. In the context of OWF development and cumulative impacts analysis, this step of validation of the models is essential for developing their use by management actors and policy makers. {\textcopyright} 2020 Elsevier Ltd},

	journal = {Ecological Informatics},
	volume = {59},
	year = {2020},
	abstract = {Species Distribution Models (SDMs) are useful tools to project potential future species distributions under climate change scenarios. Despite the ability to run SDMs in recent and reliable tools, there are some misuses and proxies that are widely practiced and rarely addressed together, particularly when dealing with marine species. In this paper, we propose an open-source framework that includes (i) a procedure for homogenizing occurrence data to reduce the influence of sampling bias, (ii) a procedure for generating pseudo-absences, (iii) a hierarchical-filter approach, (iv) full incorporation of the third dimension by considering climatic variables at multiple depths and (v) building of maps that predict current and potential future ranges of marine species. This framework is available for non-modeller ecologists interested in investigating future species ranges with a user-friendly script. We investigated the robustness of the framework by applying it to marine species of the Eastern English Channel. Projections were built for the middle and the end of this century under RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 scenarios. {\textcopyright} 2020 Elsevier B.V.},

	journal = {Harmful Algae},
	volume = {68},
	year = {2017},
	pages = {192 - 205},
	abstract = {<p>The population dynamics of different Pseudo-nitzschia species, along with particulate domoic acid (pDA) concentrations, were studied from May 2012 to December 2013 in the Bay of Seine (English Channel, Normandy). While Pseudo-nitzschia spp. blooms occurred during the two years of study, Pseudo-nitzschia species diversity and particulate domoic acid concentrations varied greatly. In 2012, three different species were identified during the spring bloom (P. australis, P. pungens and P. fraudulenta) with high pDA concentrations (\~{}1400\&nbsp;ng\&nbsp;l-1) resulting in shellfish harvesting closures. In contrast, the 2013 spring was characterised by a P. delicatissima bloom without any toxic event. Above all, the results show that high pDA concentrations coincided with the presence of P. australis and with potential silicate limitation (Si:N\&nbsp;\&lt;\&nbsp;1), while nitrate concentrations were still replete. The contrasting environmental conditions between 2012 and 2013 highlight different environmental controls that might favour the development of either P. delicatissima or P. australis. This study points to the key role of Pseudo-nitzschia diversity and cellular toxicity in the control of particulate domoic acid variations and highlights the fact that diversity and toxicity are influenced by nutrients, especially nutrient ratios.</p>

	pages = {49-64},
	abstract = {The dynamics of the phytoplankton assemblage, the physical, chemical and biological
parameters, and primary productivity and production were monitored in the central English
Channel along a transect between Ouistreham and Portsmouth from January to December 2010.
The spatial patterns of the phytoplankton assemblage were controlled by the hydrological characteristics
of the water masses, and the annual structure of the phytoplankton assemblage was characteristic
of the central English Channel and was controlled by seasonality. The spring bloom was
dominated by a single species, Chaetoceros socialis, and associated with low microphytoplankton
evenness and Shannon-Wiener indices, whereas the evenness index was high from late spring to
winter and associated with the proliferation of pico- and nanophytoplankton cells. We identified 2
species responsible for harmful algal blooms, Phaeocystis globosa, which dominated the community
in the northern part of the Seine Bay in May, and Lepidodinium chlorophorum, which dominated
the community near the French coast in September. We examined the relationship between
microphytoplankton diversity and maximum primary production and productivity. We found a
negative parabolic relationship between the diversity indices (evenness and Shannon-Wiener)
and maximum primary production, and a positive parabolic relationship between the number of
taxa (richness) and maximum primary production. However, we found no relationship between
maximum productivity and the evenness or richness indices. High levels of productivity were
measured during the increasing abundance of pico and nanophytoplankton cells, highlighting the
importance of taking the dominant functional group into account, rather than the degree of diversity,
when explaining the level of productivity.},
