Description

These results publication for these data is Comeau et al. (2019, submitted).

These data have been submitted to BCO-DMO and are in the process of being served.

Methods & Sampling

Net calcification of the organisms was determined using the buoyant weight technique. The difference in buoyant weight between the beginning and end of the one-year-long incubation was converted to dry weight of aragonite for the corals and calcite for the Lithophyllum to calculate net calcification. Calcification rates were normalized to surface area (mg cm-2) determined using the aluminium foil or the wax dipping method at the end of the incubation.
