<p>These data were obtained during an experiment performed in August-September-October 2011 and 2012 in French Polynesia. Calcification rates were measured in 8 corals <em>(Porites rus, massive Porites, Porites irregularis, Pocillopora damicornis, Pocillopora verrucosa, Psammacora profundacella, Pavona cactus, Acropora pulchra)</em> at 6 pCO2.</p> <p><strong>Related References:</strong></p> <p>Comeau, S., Edmunds, P.
