Abstract:

Calcification data from experiments conducted as part of a study of the effects of irradiance on the response of the coral Acropora pulchra and the calcifying alga Hydrolithon reinboldii to temperature elevation and ocean acidification published in Comeau et al. (2014).

Expand/Collapse All

Methods & Sampling

Buoyant weights of the corals and algae were recorded at the beginning of the incubation and after 20 d in the treatments with a precision of 1 mg. The difference between the initial and final buoyant weights was converted to dry weight using an aragonite density of 2.93 g cm− 3 for A. pulchra, and a calcite density of 2.71 g cm− 3 for H. reinboldii. Rates of net calcification were normalized to the area of organisms estimated using aluminum foil (Marsh, 1970) for A. pulchra, and by wax dipping (Stimson and Kinzie, 1991) for H. reinboldii.

Data Processing Description

R packages:

Lavigne, H., Gattuso, J.-P., 2012. seacarb: seawater carbonate chemistry with R, R package version 2.4.6, http://CRAN.Rproject.org/package=seacarb.

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes:
* Data submitted as sheet "calcification" in original excel file "Comeau_et_al_JEMBE_2014.xlsx" exported as csv with the formatting that was set in Excel.
* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions: only A-Za-z0-9 and underscore allowed. Can not start with a number. (spaces, +, and - changed to underscores).
