Mowing Marker Examples

FOI-level mowing events

Description

FOI = 92269889 is declared as permanent grassland. The analysis shown in the Area Monitoring App confirms this classification:

Key observations:

  • From the beginning of the season in January until mid-July, all observations show vegetation (grass) present, indicated by high NDVI values in the Signals component

  • The mowing marker detects 1 event at the end of July (one can observe clear NDVI drop and recovery pattern visible in the time series)

  • Visual confirmation of mowing activity in satellite imagery

Partial mowing events

Description

This FOI is declared as permanent meadow. The area of this FOI was mowed with several partial mowing events. Evidence of mowing in the middle part of the FOI is visible in the Sentinel-2 observations from June 29. Previous observations show evidence of mowing in the southern part.

Key observations:

  • Multiple partial mowing events detected across different parts of the field

  • Temporal sequence of mowing visible: southern area mowed first, followed by middle section

  • Each mowing event affects only a portion of the total FOI area

  • Pixel-level detection is more effective than FOI-level for partial mowing scenarios
