Table 3. Two-way ANOVA tests analysing direct and combined effects of low pH and thermal-stress (+2 °C) on three coralline species: Neogoniolithon sp. (rhodolith), Amphiroa tribulus (articulated) and the CCA Lithothamnion sp. Pmax, maximum gross photosynthesis (μmol O2 cm−2 h−1); RL, Post-illumination Respiration (μmol O2 cm−2 h−1); and Gmax, maximum calcification rate (μmol CaCO3 cm−2 h−1).
