Experimental results of effects of acidification on corals and calcified algae collected from the Richard B Gump Research Station during 2011, in French Polynesia (MCR LTER project, OA_Corals project)

<p>Carbonate chemistry components of various seawater treatments used during experiments involving the coral<em> Porites rus</em> and alga <em>Hydrolithon onkodes</em>.&nbsp; These data are part of a larger data set containing light, dark, and mean calcification rates, which in turn are part of experiments performed during July-August 2011 in French Polynesia to test the effect of various concentrations of carbonate and bicarbonate ions on the calcification of a coral and a calcifying alga.</p>
