The influences of diurnal variability and ocean acidification on the bioerosion rates of two reef-dwelling Caribbean sponges, including buoyant weight measurements and tank pH conditions from 2021-06-14 to 2021-07-20 (NCEI Accession 0260004)
We evaluated the influence of diurnal carbonate chemistry variability on the bioerosion rates of two Caribbean sponges: the zooxanthellate Cliona varians and azooxanthellate Cliothosa delitrix. Sponge samples were exposed to four precisely-controlled pH treatments: contemporary static (8.05 Â± 0.00; mean pH Â± diurnal …
