Description

This dataset includes leaf samples from six floating and emergent macrophyte species common in temperate areas, covering different phenological stages, seasons, and environmental conditions, and measured leaf reflectance (400-2500 nm) and leaf traits (dealing with photophysiology, pigments, and structure). Data were collected along three years (2016-2018) from three temperate shallow lakes surrounded by wetlands and hosting abundant macrophyte communities, located in central and southern Europe: Lake Hídvégi or Kis-Balaton (Hungary), Mantua lakes system (Italy), and Lake Varese (Italy).

Leaf photophysiological parameters derived from chlorophyll fluorescence measured with a PAM-2500 chlorophyll fluorometer (Heinz Walz GmbH, Germany).

Leaf pigments were derived from spectrophotometric readings of absorbance of leaf extracts in acetone 80%.
