This chapter provides an overview of best practice in Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) laboratory experimentation and facilitates awareness of the importance of applying standardized methods to promote data reuse, interlab comparisons, and transparency. This chapter provides the reader with the tools to (1) identify the criteria to achieve the best laboratory practice and experimental design; (2) provide guidance on the selection of response variables for various purposes (physiological, biogeochemical, ecological, evolutionary) for interlab comparisons; (3) offer recommendation for a minimum set of variables that should be sampled and propose additional variables critical for different types of synthesis and upscaling; and (4) identify protocols for standardized measurements of response variables.
