Seed mass and seed morphological traits for 293 grassland species occurring in the grassland experimental plots of the Biodiversity Exploratories

Morphological traits of seeds (or the dispersule) are important functional traits related to dispersal (seed morphology) and storage of reserves (seed mass). The data contain seed mass and measured morphological traits (projected area, straight length, curved length, straight width, curved width, curvature, width-to-length ratio and projected perimeter) for 293 species occurring in the grassland experimental plots of the Biodiversity Exploratories. The data collection was part of the project SeedDiv within the framework of the DFG-funded joint project Biodiversity Exploratories (https://www.biodiversity-exploratories.de).
