Lolium arundinaceum is a perennial grass that the Finnish source records from seashores and as a cultivated turf or forage grass. It is native from western Europe and North Africa to Central Asia and established more widely in temperate and cool regions, so it is not globally restricted to coasts.

Recorded in 16 of 120 sampled plots.
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 1.2–15.3 · average 5.71 · n = 12
Range 2.895–16.498 · average 6.78 · n = 5

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.
12 occupied plots have a positive numeric cover value available for occupied-plot cover summaries.
Both traits passed the documented minimum of five measurements. Their species medians can be weighted by relative cover when constructing plot-level 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 Lolium arundinaceum.
Interpretation boundary: UAV or satellite imagery does not uniquely identify Lolium arundinaceum in this study. Follow the complete field-to-EO workflow →
