Coastal-meadow position
Occurrence uses the 30 sampled plots in each community. Community boundaries are not rigid; these are study observations, not a complete Estonian distribution. Study data and methods →
Centaurea jacea is a robust-rooted perennial herb of dryish meadows, dry riverbank grasslands, glades and verges. It is principally an open-grassland plant in the source account, without a specific coastal association.

FINBIF TAXONOMY
OUR MEASURED TRAITS
Trait values are pooled measurements collected during the 2024 coastal-meadow field campaign and are study observations, not fixed species constants. Only summaries with at least five measurements are shown.
This species did not meet the ≥5-measurement rule in the supplied CCI or leaf-area summary tables.
Licensed FinBIF photographs
These views complement the primary photograph above without repeating it. Use them alongside a regional identification key; photographs alone are not sufficient for a field identification.
FIELD DATA → EARTH OBSERVATION
These steps show what this record contributes to the 2024 study. They do not turn the taxon name into a remotely sensed measurement.
8 occupied plots have a positive numeric cover value available for occupied-plot cover summaries.
Neither trait met the documented minimum of five measurements for this taxon, so it contributes no species median to the CCI or leaf-area community-weighted means.
Plot-level ecological responses are paired with UAV predictors. A fitted model can estimate variation in those responses across the landscape; this record does not train a classifier for Centaurea jacea.
Interpretation boundary: UAV or satellite imagery does not uniquely identify Centaurea jacea in this study. Follow the complete field-to-EO workflow →
