A dataset on above- and below-ground traits of 17 cover crops, two wild plant species and two banana cultivars, cultivated individually

This dataset describes 21 species of cover crops (17 sp.), wild plant species (2 sp.) and bananas (2 sp.), each repeated four times and cultivated individually under non-limiting conditions, on 16m² plots. Data were acquired at flowering (annuals with short cycle) or after six months of growth (other species/varieties). The traits and variables measured refer to whole plant (7 variables), leaves (21 variables), and roots (12 variables). This dataset is made available to enable comparisons between datasets, extended analysis and meta-analysis on cover crops
