Photosynthesis-Calcification coupling
Maximum calcification rate (G_max, μmol CaCO₃ cm⁻² h⁻¹)	1.21 ± 0.12	0.62 ± 0.04	0.27 ± 0.06
Minimum photosynthesis requirements, MPR¹ (μmol O₂ cm⁻² h⁻¹)	1.15 ± 0.16	0.63 ± 0.07	0.23 ± 0.08
Centroid (μmol O₂ cm⁻² h⁻¹)	1.13 ± 0.13	1.04 ± 0.08	0.47 ± 0.11

¹Minimum photosynthesis requirements refers to the x value of photosynthesis for y = 0 (no calcification or decalcification activity) of the linear regression between calcification and photosynthesis.
