Experimental effects of ocean acidification and warming on coral

This data is from an aquarium experiment conducted at the AIMS Townsville facility investigating the combined effects of ocean acidification and warming on coral health. Coral growth and protein content, as well as symbiont pigments and photophysiology, were measured after two months exposure to the experimental treatments. This data has been published in the below manuscript:Noonan SHC and Fabricius KE (2016). Ocean acidification affects productivity but not the severity of thermal bleaching in some tropical corals. ICES Journal of Marine Science 73 (3): 715 – 726

本数据集源自AIMS汤斯维尔实验基地开展的水族箱实验，旨在探究海洋酸化（ocean acidification）与海洋变暖（ocean warming）的复合效应对珊瑚健康的影响。研究人员对经2个月实验处理（experimental treatments）暴露后的珊瑚的生长状况、蛋白质含量，以及共生体（symbiont）色素与光生理特性（photophysiology）进行了测定。本数据集已发表于以下学术论文：Noonan SHC与Fabricius KE（2016）。《海洋酸化对部分热带珊瑚的生产力存在影响，但未改变其热白化（thermal bleaching）严重程度》，《ICES海洋科学杂志（ICES Journal of Marine Science）》，73卷第3期：715–726。
