Seawater carbonate chemistry and SCTLD susceptibility in nursery-reared Pseudodiploria clivosa and Orbicella faveolata genotypes

Here, we exposed Orbicella faveolata and Pseudodiploria clivosa genotypes to wild colonies showing signs consistent with stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) immediately following a 2-month long exposure to ocean warming (OW) and ocean acidification (OA) scenarios. Corals were exposed to SCTLD for 3 weeks while maintaining the environmental treatments.
