Cite Dataset

Carbonate chemistry components of various seawater treatments used during experiments involving the coral Porites rus and alga Hydrolithon onkodes.  These data are part of a larger data set containing light, dark, and mean calcification rates, which in turn are part of experiments performed during July-August 2011 in French Polynesia to test the effect of various concentrations of carbonate and bicarbonate ions on the calcification of a coral and a calcifying alga.
