INDEPENDENT BOTANICAL EVIDENCE
General ecology
Sesleria uliginosa is a loosely tufted perennial grass of eutrophic fens, fen meadows and mesic to moist nutrient-rich meadows. FinBIF characterizes it as calcicolous, supporting an affinity for base-rich grassland and fen habitats.

OUR MEASURED TRAITS
Pool-wise CCI and leaf area
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.

Additional 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.
These steps show what this record contributes to the 2024 study. They do not turn the taxon name into a remotely sensed measurement.
1 · FIELD EVIDENCE38 of 120 plots
38 occupied plots have a positive numeric cover value available for occupied-plot cover summaries.
2 · TRAIT ELIGIBILITYCCI n = 44 · leaf area n = 19
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.
3 · MODEL LINKPlot response, not species detection
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 Sesleria uliginosa.
