Ononis spinosa subsp. arvensis is a perennial herb whose Finnish account emphasizes stony seashore meadows and waste ground. The same authoritative description notes dry and moist meadows, pastures, field edges and roadsides elsewhere in its European to western Asian range, so it is not universally coastal.

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.
Occurrence is verified, but no positive numeric cover value is available for an occupied-plot cover summary.
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 Ononis spinosa subsp. arvensis.
Interpretation boundary: UAV or satellite imagery does not uniquely identify Ononis spinosa subsp. arvensis in this study. Follow the complete field-to-EO workflow →
