Description

Light and dark calcification rates for the coral Porites rus and alga Hydrolithon onkode in varying carbonate chemistry conditions. These data are part of experiments performed during July/August 2011 in French Polynesia to test the effect of various concentrations of carbonate and bicarbonate ions on the calcification of a coral and a calcifying alga.
