Abstract
<p>Values represent the mean ±SD of bimonthly measures taken over the six months exposure period (n = 12 for each treatment). Mussels were either exposed to: ambient pH and ambient temperature (ambient); ambient pH and elevated temperature (warming); reduced pH and ambient temperature (acidified); or reduced pH and elevated temperature (warming+acidified). TRT represents treatment, T = temperature, Sal = Salinity, pH<sub>T</sub> = pH (total scale), TA = total alkalinity, DIC = dissolved inorganic carbon, pCO<sub>2</sub> = CO<sub>2</sub> partial pressure, HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> = bicarbonate, CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2−</sup> = carbonate, Ω<sub>arag</sub> = aragonite saturation state, and Ωcalc = calcite saturation state. Measured values are: temperature, salinity, TA, and DIC. Calculated values are pH, pCO<sub>2</sub>, HCO<sub>3</sub>, CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2−</sup>, Ω<sub>arag</sub> and Ω<sub>calc</sub>.</p
