An .html format report is included which show the detailed process that was followed to generate the dataset but does not require a user to run R scripts to view.A dataset (and multi-scale aggregations thereof) of point-level occurrences, relative abundances, and associated environmental data for macrophytes (freshwater plants) across Minnesota. The data encompass 3,194 surveys of 1,520 lakes and ponds performed over a 19-year timespan. A total of 372,091 points were sampled, across which 231 taxa were recorded. Macrophyte occurrence data and depth, as well as point-level relative-plant-abundance measures for a subset of surveys, were collated, cleaned, and joined to geospatial data and Secchi-depth measurements of water clarity, enabling light availability, a primary control on aquatic plant growth, to be estimated.CC0 1.0 Universalhttp://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/Aquatic habitatMacrophyteLake plantLimnologyPlant communityDatasethttps://doi.org/10.13020/av1t-c667
