"In contrast to a brownfield site, defined as an area that has previously been developed, a greenfield site is an area previously undeveloped and therefore undisturbed with a predominantly consistent subsurface (Laidler et al., 2002)."
- iz stručnog rada o mogućnostima obnavljanja brownfield lokacija. Jasno mi je što brownfield i greenfield lokacije predstavljaju, no ne mogu nikako sročiti ovu frazu.

tlo/površinski sloj ujednačenih osobina
you have to look at it in opposition to "brownfield sites"
On a "brownfiled sites" the surface and subsurface would be full or remains from the previous use of the site - building foundations, underground reservoirs of all kind, compacted soil in some places, partially covered with concrete, asphalt etc all sort of leftovers of underground cables, drainage etc. often in some spots heavily contaminated from years or decades of industrial chemicals leaking into the ground ... IOW very different from one part to the next of the site.
On a "greenfield site" the surface and subsurface would be the natural one - usually the same on the whole of the site (everywhere the same).
here "consistent subsurface" = tlo/površinski sloj ujednačenih osobina

Note from asker:
| Da, ima smisla. No kada bi takav prijevod iskoristila u rečenici koju sam navela u primjeru: "...a greenfield site is an area previously undeveloped and therefore undisturbed with a predominantly consistent subsurface." -dobila bi nešto ovakvo: "...greenfield lokacija je područje koje nikada prije nije bilo razvijeno i stoga je nenarušeno (pod)površinskim slojem ujednačenih osobina" - što je nekako kontradiktorno zbog ovog "undisturbed with". Osim kada bi između unsisturbed i with stajao zarez... ne znam, nisam više pametna... Ako mogu pitati, kako bi vi preveli ovu rečenicu? |

Greenfield site
An area previously undeveloped and therefore undisturbed with a predominantly consistent subsurface.
To je ustvari definicija greenfield site. Ja bih prevela kao što piše - pretežno čvrsti sloj ispod površine ili takva neka varijacija. Zavisno šta je bolje u HR.

: ovde je "consistent" = svugde isti površinski sloj, bilo da je granit ili glina ...

Mislila sam da bi možda konzistentan odgovaralo.

"Suprotno brownfield lokaciji, koja se definira kao područje koje je prethodno bilo u upotrebi, greenfield lokacija je područje koje prethodno nije bilo namijenjeno razvoju, stoga je i dalje u izvornom stanju s pretežno ujednačenim potpovršinskim slojem."
Hvala svima, mnogo ste mi pomogli!
greenfield lokacija je područje koje nikada prije nije bilo izgrađeno i stoga je u netaknutom stanju (u izvornom stanju?) i pretežno je pokriveno (pod)površinskim slojem ujednačenih osobina
kənˈsɪst(ə)nt
adjective
1.
acting or done in the same way over time, especially so as to be fair or accurate.
"the parents are being consistent and firm in their reactions"
2.
(of an argument or set of ideas) not containing any logical contradictions.
"a consistent explanation"
IOW in the same way over time = no differences over time
Here, by analogy: no differences from one spot to the other = the "subsurface" is the same everywhere on the site
