Laboratory experimental data on temperate crustose coralline algae assemblages exposed to combined ocean warming and acidification under low, medium, and high emissions scenarios. The dataset includes measurements of net calcification, net photosynthesis, relative growth rates, and percentage bleaching. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-06-04.
Use Cases
- Modeling the decline in net calcification and photosynthesis of crustose coralline algae under different emissions scenarios.
- Assessing the risk of bleaching and reduced growth rates in marine algae due to combined warming and acidification.
- Studying the potential impact on commercially important invertebrates that rely on algae for larval settlement cues.
- Evaluating the sensitivity of visually cryptic marine species to near-future global ocean change.
Strengths
- Data from a controlled laboratory experiment examining three distinct emissions scenarios (low, medium, high).
- Includes multiple response variables: net calcification, net photosynthesis, relative growth rates, and percentage bleaching.
- Findings are temporally specific, suggesting potential adverse impacts by 2030 if current emissions are sustained.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
