Summary: | <p>Dry weight, buoyant weight, and surface area data for the <em>S. siderea</em> coral specimens investigated for the study: Impact of ocean acidification on coral (Siderastrea siderea) calcification and corallite morphology. Dry weights were calculated using the empirically derived buoyant weight-dry weight regression equations.</p> <p>See also related datasets for seawater chemistry and <em>Siderastrea siderea</em> corallite morphometry:<br /> <a href=\"https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/722024\" target=\"_blank\">​Seawater chemistry</a><br /> <a href=\"https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/722026\" target=\"_blank\">Corallite morphometry</a></p> <p>Data are published in:</p> <p>Horvath, K.M., Ries, J.B., Castillo, K.D., Westfield, I.T., Armstrong, P., Courtney, T., 2016, Next-century ocean acidification and warming both reduce calcification rate, but only acidification alters skeletal morphology of reef-building coral <em>Siderastrea siderea</em>.
