Description
Experimental data to test how the behaviour of a key species, Scrobicularia plana, shapes the response of communities to climate change. more
Clams and soft-sediment communities were incubated for four weeks under experimental warming and acidification (3 °C increase and ~0.35 pHT (total pH scale) unit decline from ambient conditions. First, porewater hydraulic signatures were analysed that are associated with different behaviours of S. plana to study how the single and combined effects of experimental warming and acidification influence feeding behaviour. Second, soft-sediment communities wree collected and analysed how the presence of S. plana mediated combined warming and acidification effects on ecosystem interactions and population resilience via direct and indirect pathways.
