Abstract

This dataset includes calcification rates of the coral Acropora pulchra during two 21-day experimental treatments from October to November of 2015 conducted at the Richard B Gump Research Station, Moorea, French Polynesia. The first 21-day treatment was conducted using approximated ambient conditions, and the second "high" treatment conditions had elevated temperature and pCO2 levels.
