The data consist of leaf extension rates of seagrass growth as the primary response variable; elemental and isotopic compositions of seagrass above- and below-ground biomass; seagrass morphological parameters; site-characterisation environmental parameters and temperature recorded over the experimental windows. This dataset contains in-situ experimental information relating two separate nutrient enrichment experiments that were conducted in January/February 2022 and January 2023 over 2-week periods. The experiments were designed to understand the growth response of seagrass to elevated nutrient concentrations relative to controls plots. We used agricultural fertilisers to elevate local concentrations. In 2022, we used a slow-release fertiliser and compared growth response rates at two contrasting site types with 3 treatment levels (Control, Low N and High N). In 2023, we used an all-purpose granular fertiliser, the same 3 treatment levels but varied how the fertiliser was delivered to the seagrass, i.e., water-column diffusion vs below-ground diffusion. Both experiments were conducted on the same island of Gan, in Laamu atoll, Maldives. The work has been undertaken has been funded by the GCRF-UKRI South Asian Nitrogen Hub and enabled through the University of Edinburgh and Maldivian non-governmental organisation, Maldives Resilient Reefs.

[This dataset is embargoed until December 31, 2026]. The data consist of coral bleaching data; coral elemental and isotopic data (of coral host tissue and algal symbionts); coral metric data (size and depth of coral colonies used in experiment); water nutrient data collected next to corals over the experimental period; diffuser weights of fertiliser bags (to help calculate diffusion rates of fertiliser loss) and temperature data (recorded over the experimental windows in-situ and using satellite data). This dataset contains in-situ experimental information relating two separate nutrient enrichment experiments that were conducted over January - June 2022 and January 2023 - July 2024. The experiments were designed to understand the in-situ bleaching and nutrients responses of corals (Pocillopora spp.) to the interactive effect of elevated temperatures and elevated nutrient concentrations relative to controls. Slow-release agricultural fertilisers were used to elevate local concentrations. In 2022, two types of fertilisers were used (High N = 18-9-10 NPK or High P = 13-13-13 NPK). In 2023-24, the same fertiliser was used (24-7-14 NPK) but at two quantities, medium-N (50-75 g of fertiliser) and high-N (150-200 g of fertiliser) to better understand thresholds. Both experiments were conducted on lagoonal patch reefs in Laamu atoll, Maldives. The work has been undertaken has been funded by the GCRF-UKRI South Asian Nitrogen Hub and enabled through the University of Edinburgh and Maldivian non-governmental organisation, Maldives Resilient Reefs.
