Dataset for: Effects of Oil-Contaminated Sediments on Submerged Vegetation: An Experimental Assessment of Ruppia maritima

We grew Ruppia maritima in a range of manipulated sediment oil concentrations: 0, 0.26, 0.53, and 1.05 mL oil /L tank volume. This dataset reports the initial and final wet weight, shoot density, shoot length, inflorescence, seed production, root characteristics, and uprooting force of plants for 12 replicates of each treatment. Each replicate contained 3 plants. Alkane and aromatic concentrations for each treatment are included. Additionally, soil cohesion was measured weekly at the same oil concentrations and is reported as force needed to remove plastic beads from sediment. All plants were grown in 19L tanks in the Louisiana State University greenhouse facility.我们在一系列梯度调控的沉积物含油浓度（0、0.26、0.53和1.05 mL油/L水箱容积）下种植川蔓藻（Ruppia maritima）。本数据集记录了各处理组12次重复实验中植株的初始鲜重与最终鲜重、茎枝密度、茎枝长度、花序、种子产量、根系特征以及拔株力，每组重复包含3株植株。各处理组的烷烃（alkane）与芳香烃（aromatic）浓度均已纳入数据集。此外，本研究在相同含油浓度梯度下每周测定土壤黏聚力，以从沉积物中取出塑料微珠所需的力作为其表征指标并记录。所有植株均种植于路易斯安那州立大学（Louisiana State University）温室设施内的19L水箱中。
