    This from the Phytomemeology Facebook page where the mod has some firm views on what they define as monoculture. As far as I’ve researched. Monoculture just means a single species crop, and does not reference a time frame at all. This meme is based off of the comment argument they got into

      Correct! Crop rotation is monoculture, even if you plant a wheat one year, beans the next and melons he third.

        I agree! It also means it can include single species crops that do not get rotated over time. It is an umbrella term that can be used appropriately in both contexts.
