Effect of Low Irradiance on Seagrass from Rødsand lagoon (DK)

This dataset provides the raw and postprocessed data from laboratory experiments investigating the effect of reduced light irradiance on the health status and biomechanical properties of  seagrass species Zostera marina collected in Rødsand lagoon (DK). The experiments were conducted as part of Hydralab+ and were completed at Loughborough University. Plants used in experiments were supplied by DHI.

During experiments seagrass health status was monitored with a chlorophyll fluorometer. The morphological properties of seagrass blades were measured using rulers, Vernier scales and a scale, and their flexural rigidity was measured via cantilever tests.
