I didn't see anything in the area_types discussion originally about this kind of 'domain-specific' content, which I was thinking about in the marine context.

In marine domains anyway, there are maybe 6 common classification schemes for habitat (many more uncommon ones). Note I do not mean individual terms; I mean schemes. In agriculture I can't help but think there are many more.

Is this a slippery slope?

grassland
Perhaps we could call this "grass" because I anticipate we will need area_types
for c3_grass and c4_grass (not been requested yet).

agricultural / farmland
Would it be correct to describe this as "crops"? I suppose that pasture is
actually grassland.

Cheers
