N2 - <p>We provide data on the morphological and biomechanical characteristics of four species of fully submerged freshwater aquatic macrophytes that can grow into well-defined patches. The dataset covers three relevant levels of organisation: individual plants (inside patches), isolated patches and multiple neighbouring patches.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>During the field sampling, the following parameters were collected and paired with data on local hydrodynamic conditions (water depth and flow velocity measurements):</p>
<ol>
  <li>Plant level: plant height, dimensions of stem cross section, Young’s modulus, second moment of area, flexural stiffness, Cauchy number.</li>
  <li>Patch level: width, length, height and their allometric relationships; density; fresh and dry mass per m2.</li>
  <li>Between-patch level: species composition (% cover in the patch), minimum and maximum gap size (distance between consecutive patches), distance between patch centroids.</li>
</ol>
