Data from: Growth forms and life-history strategies predict the occurrence of aquatic macrophytes in relation to environmental factors in a shallow peat lake complex

Data from: Growth forms and life-history strategies predict the occurrence of aquatic macrophytes in relation to environmental factors in a shallow peat lake complex. Journal: Hydrobiologia. This datafile is part of a study that demonstrates, using a survey, that growth forms and life-history strategies in relation to environmental factors could drive the occurrence of aquatic macrophytes in a shallow peat lake. The survey took place in July 2018 in a shallow peat lake (Stichts Ankeveensche Plassen) in the Netherlands. In a field survey, we sampled 64 points in a shallow peat lake and related macrophyte occurrence to growth forms (floating-leaved rooted and submerged), life-history strategies for overwintering (turions, seeds, rhizomes) and environmental factors (water depth, fetch, and porewater nutrients). This dataset contains data of plant occurence, plant traits, and abiotic conditions at all sampled plots
