Seasonal mesocosm community experiments with warming and acidification treatments in Kiel Outdoor Benthocosms

Seasonal mesocosm community experiments: Four successive runs of ca 10 weeks in 12 outdoor mesocosms (ca 1400 L) with flow-through and a orthogonally crossed warming (\"ambient\" temperature vs warming by 5°C = \"OW\") and acidification (\"ambient\" CO2 vs increase by 700 µatm = \"OA\" and combined warming and acidification = \"OWA\" ) treatment. The tanks were started with the same community composition (Fucus vesiculosus; mesograzers Idotea spp., Gammarus spp., Littorina littorea; seastar Asteria rubens, filter feeders Balanus improvisus, Mytilus edulis); details in Wahl et al. 2015.
