Bare-Soil Marker Examples
Grasses and clover
Description
FOI=6918176001 claims to grow corn, but has zero bare-soil detections, which is very untypical for cornfields as shown above. Investigation in Browser App reveals that corn is definitely not being cultivated on this FOI.
- NDVI time-series is not similar to NDVI profile of other cornfields.
- Mowing marker detected three mowing events. Evidence of the first one are clearly visible in one of the true color observations.
- Land-use classification marker predicts grassland group.
- Similarity and distance markers suggest that clover, alfalfa, or grasses grow on this FOI.
- Crop-group classification marker predicts a crop group consisting of grasses and clover.

Grassland has been turned into a construction site
Description
FOI=7063621001 claims to be permanent meadow, but its summer observations are all observations of exposed bare soil. Investigation in Browser App reveals that this permanent grassland has perhaps been turned into a construction site.
- Land-use classification marker predicts built-up.

Winter barely
Description
FOI=6670653001 claims to grow winter barely.
NDVI time-series, crop-group classification, similarity and distance marker results are consistent with this claim.
There are only two bare-soil observations in mid July. Most-probably this FOI had another crop undersown, which started to grow after winter barley was harvested. The two bare-soil observations are from the time, when there was no or very little photosynthetic vegetation present on the FOI.
