A functional characterization of bioengineered plant communities along riverbanks

Frequency of occurrence and information for 10 traits and 3 attributes of 356 plant taxa identified in 84 riverbank sites stabilized with soil bioengineering and in 40 reference (natural) sites in the eastern Canadian province of Quebec, Canada. Traits and attributes were obtained from the literature (different sources). The data release includes three files containing three datasets of site x species, species x traits, and trait sources. Each file contains a metadata tab with a detailed description of columns.
