©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.These data were obtained during an experiment performed in August-September-October 2011 and 2012 in French Polynesia. Calcification rates were measured in 8 corals (Porites rus, massive Porites, Porites irregularis, Pocillopora damicornis, Pocillopora verrucosa, Psammacora profundacella, Pavona cactus, Acropora pulchra) at 6 pCO2.
