Description
Summary:An experiment examining the effects of increased CO2 concentrations upon the capacity of the different species of marine macrophytes to ameliorate seawater acidity via several assays in enclosed well-mixed, airtight chambers with no headspace, was conducted indoors at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences (Maine, USA), in June-July 2015. We explored the individual capacities of four species of marine macrophytes (Ulva lactuca, Zostera marina, Fucus vesiculosus and Saccharina latissima) to ameliorate seawater acidity in experimentally elevated pCO2. This dataset includes data from experiment 1, comparison among species, described in the manuscript: Optimizing marine macrophyte capacity to locally ameliorate ocean acidification under variable light and flow regimes: Insights from an experimental approach (Ricart, A. M. et al. 2023). ...
