Abstract

This dataset contains data from a study of pteropod shell dissolution on individuals exposed to CO2-enriched seawater. The data include the amount of dissolution as well as the physical and chemical parameters on which carbonate chemistry parameters were calculated.

This dataset contains data from a study of pteropod shell dissolution on individuals exposed to CO2-enriched seawater. The data include the amount of dissolution as well as the physical and chemical parameters on which carbonate chemistry parameters were calculated.

For more information on the experimental methods and results, see Bednarsek et al., 2012. 

This dataset has also been deposited to PANGAEA where additional carbonate system variables were calculated as described by Nisumaa et al., 2010. See: http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.779926
