Abstract

This coral calcification dataset includes the areas of corals as they changed over a year-long experiment. Flume physical and chemical conditions are provided as a supplemental file. These data are part of a study of year-long effects of high pCO2 on the community structure of a tropical fore reef assembled in outdoor flumes in Moorea, French Polynesia from 2017 to 2018. These coral calcification data support publication (Edmunds et al., 2020; doi:10.1093/icesjms/fsaa015) with the following...
