This dataset includes data used for structural equation modeling of Bermuda coral and reef-scale calcification including Porites and Diploria coral calcification rates, temperature, pH, salinity, chlorophyll a, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pCO2, seawater saturation state with respect to aragonite, light levels, and nutrients from a principal component analysis. 

Sampling locations: Bermuda Platform: Hog Reef (32.45733, -64.83476) and Crescent Reef (32.40078, -64.79747).
