A mesocosm experiment looking at the effects of temperature and pCO 2 on two intertidal species (Nucella lapillus and Osilinus lineatus) was run at the Marine Biological Association of the UK from 2011 - 2012 by N. Mieszkowska. This dataset contains all environmental and biological measurement data collected during the course of the experiment. Daily and weekly water quality measurements were taken with parameters including water pH, temperature, salinity, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, total alkalinity. The biological measurements consisted of monthly height, width and wet weight measurements of all individual animals.
