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 →
Galium verum is a perennial herb of dry meadows, exposed rocky ground, heaths, juniper scrub and roadsides. FinBIF describes it as Eurasian, so an occurrence beside the sea represents only one part of its wider ecology.

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.
Range 0.8–2 · average 1.37 · n = 6
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.
27 occupied plots have a positive numeric cover value available for occupied-plot cover summaries.
Only CCI passed the documented minimum of five measurements. Its species median can contribute to the corresponding plot-level community-weighted mean where cover is available.
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 Galium verum.
Interpretation boundary: UAV or satellite imagery does not uniquely identify Galium verum in this study. Follow the complete field-to-EO workflow →
