Data of physiology, biomechanics and hydrodynamics of a freshwater macrophyte

This data package provides post-processed data used in the manuscript “Linking plant stress and hydrodynamics: evidence from freshwater macrophytes” submitted to Water Resources Research. The data package contains data obtained from direct measurements of maximum quantum yield of photosystem II, morphological characteristics and flexural rigidity of the freshwater macrophyte Potamogeton natans. Further, data of flow velocity, drag force, plant deflected height and plant centroid height obtained from flume experiments carried out with samples of P. natans are reported.
