From seasonal field study to surrogate modeling: Investigating the biomechanical dynamics of Elymus sp. in salt marshes

This dataset details the data addressed and analyzed in Keimer et al., titled "From seasonal field study to surrogate modeling: Investigating the biomechanical dynamics of Elymus sp. in salt marshes". This study conducted monthly field campaigns focusing on Elymus spp. and its biomechanical properties from December 2021 to December 2022 on the German Barrier island Spiekeroog. A total of 1390 specimen were investigated to determine their growth length, and 418 specimen were investigated mechanically with three-point bending tests to determine their biomechanical properties. The data publication contains all relevant data needed to reproduce the field campaign results and their statistical analysis.
