Abstract

This dataset includes calcification rates of the coral Acropora pulchra during an experiment that took place July of 2015 conducted at the Richard B Gump Research Station, Moorea, French Polynesia. Four treatments were used to test calcification rates at approximated ambient and elevated CO2 and temperature levels.
