Plant structural trait data for four typical macrophyte species of kettle holes in NE-Germany

The published file contains plant structural trait data for four typical macrophyte species of kettle holes (i.e. Carex riparia, Phalaris arundinacea, Rorippa amphibia and Persicaria amphibia) that where used in the article “Allometric relationships for selected macrophytes of kettle holes in northeast Germany as a basis for efficient biomass estimation using unmanned aerial systems (UAS)”. The surveyed kettle holes are located in the AgroScapeLab Quillow, an intensively cultivated agricultural young moraine landscape 90 km north of Berlin, Germany. In total, 12 kettle holes were chosen. Within each kettle hole three habitats were selected per species. In each of the three species specific habitats one sample (0.25 x 0.25 m plots) was taken monthly from May to July 2016.
