Field Activity 09CBC02

Identifier 09CBC02
Purpose The goal of our new effort is to document current and future calcification rates as seawater conditions continue to change due to sea surface warming and ocean acidification.
Location Dry Tortugas National Park, FL
Summary Initial mass of n = 10 colonies of Siderastrea siderea
Info derived Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for coral Siderastrea siderea and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles.
