Ecotoxicology data of coastal plants (Plantago coronopus) following exposure to microplastics and seawater inundation
This dataset contains ecotoxicological measurements of coastal plant species Plantago coronopus, following exposure to microplastics and seawater inundation. The variables measured include mortality, growth, reproductive output, necrosis and photosynthetic efficiency, recorded over a total duration of 64-days. This dataset was created as part of an experiment to investigate the effects of exposure to commercial pre-production biodegradable (polybutylene adipate terephthalate, PBAT) and conventional (Polyethylene terephthalate, PET) microplastics (0.2 % w/w). Work was supported by the NERC funded BIO-PLASTIC-RISK project, grant NE/V007556/1.

- Statement
-
A 3 x 2 factorial experiment was conducted to examine the effect of combined exposure to microplastics (3 levels: none/conventional/biodegradable plastics) and seawater inundation (2 levels: presence/absence) affected the growth, stress responses and reproductive potential of P. coronopus (n = 10 per treatment). Throughout the experiment, measures associated with plant health: mortality and proportion of necrotic tissue (visually scored) were recorded. Quantum efficiency of Photosystem II (Fv/Fm) was measured throughout (plant efficiency analyser chlorophyll fluorimeter (Pocket PEA, Hansatech Instruments, UK)). The number of flower spike and the root:shoot ratio were determined when the experiment was terminated. This dataset comprises 2 files Plantago_data.csv, and Plantago_data_necrosis.csv. details of their structure are provided in the accompanying README document.
