farm management zone (farm management zones)
farm areas (or paddocks) with similar physical features and management.
hot spots (critical source areas)
Critical source areas of a nutrient result from the co-location of areas with high levels of that nutrient availability (source areas) with areas with high potential for nutrient movement (transport areas).
