DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: CoastClim_Dataset(6.22).xlsx

## Data collected by Roel Lammerant, Eva Karin Rholfer, Alf Norkko & Camilla Gustafsson, June 2022
## Correspondence concerning these data should be directed to Roel Lammerant (Roel.lammerant@outlook.be).

## Description: 
Seasonal field survey, based on four sampling campaigns (October 2021, March 2022, June 2022 and August 2022) of destructively harvesting macrophyte material in the Tvärminne archipelago, Finland.    
Data were collected through the use of high precision scales, a flatbed scanner, WinRHIZO and imageJ (Rueden et al. 2017)
