Table 1.

Water parameters over course of experiment. (Values shown are mean ± 95% CIs. Temperature, salinity, pH (NBS scale), and CO2 and were measured and the remaining parameters (total alkalinity (TA), CO2 (CO2), bicarbonate (HCO3) and carbonate (CO3)) calculated using CO2sys [26] using constants from Mehrbach et al. [27] refitted by Dickson & Millero [28] and KHSO4 values from Dickson [29].)
