<p>These data were obtained during an experiment performed in August-September-October 2011 and 2012 in French Polynesia. Calcification rates were measured in&nbsp;8 algae <em>(Porolithon onkodes, Lithophyllum flavescens, Halimeda macroloba, Halimeda minima, Hydrolithon reinboldii, Lithophyllum kotschyanum, Amphiroa fragilissima, Neogoniolithon frutescens</em>) at 6 pCO2.</p> <p><strong>Related References:</strong></p> <p>Comeau, S., Edmunds, P.
