Effect of warming and acidification on the palatability of Fucus vesiculosus in benthocosm experiments

Palatability as consumption of F. vesiculosus pellets by Idotea baltica (squares consumed in %). Consumption is displayed in regard to the four treatments: warm (+°C (delta+5)), acidified (-pH (delta +700µatm pCO2)), warm and acidified (+°C -pH), and ambient during four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter (n=3).The data set comprised 4 experimental runs: spring experiment (4.4.-10.6.2013), summer experiment 1 (4.7.-17.9.2013), autumn experiment (11.10-16.12.2013), winter experiment (16.1. - 28.3.2014).
