[...]the text also contained a few mistaken statements, related to our verbal description of Figures 1C,D. Following the removal of the ~1,000 erroneous ΔDO <0 records, it is still the case that ~67% (1,043/1,552) of the observed ΔH+ <0 events are still associated with conditions inconsistent with seagrass primary productivity. [...]apparent daytime proton consumption (-Δ[H+]) did often coincide with +ΔDO and |ΔS| <0.1, consistent with seagrass ecosystem photosynthesis (Figure 1D; bottom left panel).
