| Summary: | This dataset contains intracellular pH (pHi) data. These data were published in Brown et al. (2022). Abstract for all data from the study (Brown et al., 2022) including this dataset: Ocean acidification is a growing threat to coral growth and the accretion of coral reef ecosystems. Corals inhabiting environments that already endure extreme diel pCO2 fluctuations, however, may represent acidification resilient populations capable of persisting on future reefs. Here, we examined the impact of pCO2 variability on the reef-building coral Pocillopora damicornis originating from reefs with contrasting environmental histories (variable reef flat vs. stable reef slope) following reciprocal exposure to stable (218 ± 9) or variable (911 ± 31) diel pCO2 amplitude (μtam) in aquaria over eight weeks. This study measured: growth (net calcification, extension, CaCO3 density) and physiology (dark respiration, light-enhanced dark respiration, host soluble protein, mycosporine-like amino acids, net photosynthesis, ... |
