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 →
Lysimachia maritima is a rhizomatous perennial herb of coastal salt marshes and other shore habitats, and it also occurs on inland saline soils. It is salt-associated but not exclusively coastal, with a wider Eurasian and North American distribution.

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 0.8–3.3 · average 1.42 · n = 18
Range 0.061–0.542 · average 0.21 · n = 8

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.
25 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 Lysimachia maritima.
Interpretation boundary: UAV or satellite imagery does not uniquely identify Lysimachia maritima in this study. Follow the complete field-to-EO workflow →
