Photosynthesic parameters (calculated alpha, Pmax, Respiration, Ek and Ec) for each P-E curve for coral Orbicella faveolata from Rosaria and Varadero reef sites and Cartagena Bay, Colombia, 2016 and 2017

<p>This file contains the primary data of the photosynthetic parameters from coral fragments of the species Orbicella faveolata used in a reciprocal transplant experiment. Data from three study sites are reported: Varadero at 3.5m depth; Rosario at 12m depth; and Cartagena Bay at 3m depth. Both Varadero and Rosario were used as source and destination sites; while Cartagena Bay was only used as destination site for the transplant experiment. The file has one spreadsheet: Photosynthetic parameters, which contains the primary data of several photosynthetic parameters. These parameters were measured on two time points with different groups of corals: before transplantation on October of 2016 (T1) and seven months after transplantation on May of 2017 (T2).</p>

<p>These data were used in the manuscripts:<br />
\"Degradation of the underwater light environment: physiological and ecological consequences for reef corals” submitted to the Journal Nature Communications Biology. [under review, 2019-12-28]<br />
and<br />
“Surviving marginalized reefs: assessing the implications of the microbiome on coral physiology and survivorship”, submitted to the journal Coral Reefs, special issue \"Coral&nbsp;Reefs in a Changing World: Insights from Extremes\".</p>
