Abstract

This dataset contains net calcification rates for coral and coralline algae at three levels; community, reef pavement, and coral or coralline algae. The experiments took place in flumes with various pCO2 levels at Richard B. Gump South Pacific Research Station in Moorea, French Polynesia between August and October of 2014.
