Global Freshwater Macrophyte Species with Traits and Environmental Variables

Appendices for a study on how environmental gradients influence global freshwater macrophyte distributions. The data includes species occurrence, environmental variables, and functional traits, published by Luz Manzo on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license. The dataset was last updated on May 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling species distribution based on environmental variables mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing relationships between macrophyte functional traits and environmental gradients.
• Conducting global-scale ecological studies on freshwater plant communities.

Strengths

• Data is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Includes both species occurrence and functional trait data, as described.
• The dataset is small (335.6 KB), making it easy to download and inspect.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
