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 0.9–8.9 · average 2.63 · n = 6

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