Data of physiology, biomechanics and hydrodynamics of a freshwater macrophyte

<p>This data package provides post-processed data used in the manuscript &ldquo;Linking plant stress and hydrodynamics: evidence from freshwater macrophytes&rdquo; 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 <em>Potamogeton natans</em>. Further, data of flow velocity, drag force, plant deflected height and plant centroid height obtained from flume experiments carried out with samples of <em>P. natans</em> are reported.</p>
