Homogeneity Marker Examples
Persistent heterogeneity from multiple crops
Description
Heterogeneities in the next example persist for long periods of time because several crops are being grown on this field. This represents a clear case of mixed-crop cultivation within a single declared agricultural area.
Key characteristics:
- Visible differences in vegetation patterns across the field
- Persistent heterogeneity throughout the growing season
- Multiple distinct crop areas within a single FOI
- Clear boundaries between different crop zones

Temporary heterogeneity from farming practices
Description
Heterogeneities may also occur only for short periods of time due to farming practices such as partial mowing, which is especially common on large meadows. Unlike the persistent heterogeneity from multiple crops, this type of heterogeneity is temporary and related to agricultural management practices rather than mixed cultivation.
