Experiment on pH effects on coralline-epiphyte complex (Ellisolandia elongata)

This study tested the effects of non-calcifying epiphytic algae on corallines under different pH conditions including OA scenarios. This was done by measuring the metabolic response (in experiment #1) and the microenvironmental carbonate-chemistry conditions within the boundary layer (in experiment #2) of non-epiphytized and epiphytized specimens of the geniculate coralline Ellisolandia elongata.
