Abstract

This data represents weight and buoyant weight measurements of macroalgae taken at the beginning and end of a laboratory experiment that tested the effects of pH, light availability and biotic interaction on coralline algae calcification and productivity. This experiment took place at the Sitka Sound Science Center (SSSC) in Sitka, Alaska with algal samples collected between August 5, 2017 and September 21, 2017.
