Abstract

This dataset includes the observed survival of four species of Caribbean reef-building corals (Siderastrea siderea, Pseudodiploria strigosa, Porites astreoides, and Undaria tenuifolia) throughout a 93-day ocean acidification (280-3200 μatm) and warming (28°C and 31°C) experiment. Survival was assessed every 30 days during the experiment. After the experiment, these data were analysed to evaluate the effects of ocean acidification and warming on the survivorship of the four corals species.
