Methods & Sampling

Alkalinity anomaly technique [27] was used to differentiate short-term (approx. 30 min) calcification in the light and dark at the end of the two week incubation period. After 10 days of incubation, nubbins were chosen randomly from the tanks and placed in separate 100 ml glass beakers containing seawater from the respective incubation tanks. Light incubations were performed in the morning after corals were exposed to a minimum of 1 h of light. Dark incubations were performed at the end of the night on corals that were acclimated to darkness for more than 8 h.

See Comeau et al. (2017) for a detailed overview of the methodology.

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes:
* Data submitted as sheet "TA anomaly calcification" in original excel file "comeau et al. 2017_proceedings_data.xlsx" exported as csv with the formatting that was set in Excel.
* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions: only A-Za-z0-9 and underscore allowed. Can not start with a number. (spaces, +, and - changed to underscores).
