a Seasonal range in the diurnal light cycles for the seasonal experiment, and (b) the high and low diurnal light cycles for the static experiment. c, d Weekly averaged seawater temperature (blue lines) and daily PAR (grey lines) in the seasonal study, and (e) seawater temperature (green and yellow lines) and daily PAR (grey lines) in the static experiment. Dark blue shading denotes the intervals reflected in coral skeletal sampling for geochemistry. The light blue shading indicates when photosynthesis and respiration rate measurements were conducted. Treatment conditions are the following: constant light and constant temperature (CLCT), seasonal light and constant temperature (SLCT), constant light and seasonal temperature (CLST), and seasonal light and seasonal temperature; (SLST).
