TABLE 2.
Respiration rates for Laurencia intricata in isolation
Treatment groups | Photosynthesis (µmol O2 mg L. intricata −1) | Respiration (µmol O2 mg L. intricata −1) | Net production (µmol O2 mg L. intricata −1) |
---|---|---|---|
Ambient temperature, ambient pH | 0.221 ± 0.029 | 0.103 ± 0.012 | 0.118 ± 0.029 |
Ambient temperature, low pH | 0.174 ± 0.018 | 0.087 ± 0.005 | 0.087 ± 0.019 |
High temperature, ambient pH | 0.193 ± 0.023 | 0.086 ± 0.005 | 0.107 ± 0.024 |
High temperature, low pH | 0.200 ± 0.023 | 0.079 ± 0.006 | 0.121 ± 0.028 |
These data were used to provide a baseline metabolic rate and subtracted from Marginopora vertebralis and L. intricata oxygen flux measurements to infer rates of metabolism for M. vertebralis in associated treatment groups (see Methods). Values are mean ± SE (n = 10).
