Abstract

Concentrations of colored dissolved organic matter, dissolved organic carbon, and total phosphorous from experiments conducted at the University of Hawaii, Manoa in 2015.

This dataset contains concentrations of colored dissolved organic matter, dissolved organic carbon, and total phosphorous from experiments conducted at the University of Hawaii, Manoa in 2015.

Experiment CRANE (Coral Reef Acclimation to Nutrient Enrichment) identifies a monthlong mesocosm incubation study designed to understand the response of the coral reef community to long-term nutrient exposure. This experiment compared the magnitude and composition of exudates from four dominant coral reef benthic primary producer constituents (coral, macroalgae, sand and rubble) factorially under three different inorganic nutrient treatments (ambient, low, and high) over four weeks.

This dataset was published in Quinlan et al. (2018) and Silbiger et al. (2018).
