Results of the two-way ANOVAs (p value) testing the effect of temperature and nutrient condition on the physiological parameters of C. caespitosa. Net photosynthesis (Pn) and gross photosynthesis (Pg) normalized to surface area (cm−2) or symbiont cell (symbiont), chlorophyll a (Chl a) or c2 (Chl c2) concentration, total organic carbon (TOC) and nitrogen (NTN) fluxes. NS: non significant.
