Description: 

First-order estimates of macroalgal consumption calculated as the difference in the macroalgal mass loss in grams (g) between each container of a trophic treatment and the group mean from the no-grazing treatment for each pH level.

Blanks are present for the no-grazing treatments which did not contain grazers and in which estimates of macroalgal consumption were not calculated. Two additional blanks are present in which mesocosms were excluded from the macroalgal analysis, because the macroalgae fragmented during extraction, preventing assessment of the quantity consumed by the snails.
