©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Two common reef-building corals, Montipora capitata and Pocillopora acuta, were collected from six sites in Kāne'ohe Bay, O'ahu, Hawai'i. Fragments were allowed to acclimate in experimental tanks for two weeks prior to exposure to one of the following four treatments: Ambient Temperature Ambient pCO2 (ATAC), Ambient Temperature High pCO2 (ATHC), High Temperature Ambient pCO2 (HTAC), and High Temperature High pCO2 (HTHC). The treatment period lasted for a two month period, starting on September 2...

Experiment conducted at the Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology.
Survivorship was tracked daily throughout the two-month stress and two-month recovery period using a binary score for dead versus alive. Alive was defined as any fragment with live tissue.
