Field measurements of geometrical and mechanical properties of Spartina anglica on Spiekeroog, Germany, from December 2021 to December 2022

Abstract

This dataset details the data collected by Keimer et al. on Spiekeroog. The investigated species is Spartina anglica, which is dominating the low marsh. Each month, geometrical and mechanical properties were measured and determined using three-point bending tests. Further information can be found in Keimer et al. (2023) on the proposed phenological states. In total, 1746 specimen were measured and 702 specimen were investigated mechanically
