rónorodny

Równorodny (often written without diacritics as równorodny) is a Polish adjective meaning "evenly distributed" or "uniform in composition." It is used in scientific and technical contexts to describe systems in which components, categories, or elements are present in equal proportions or spread evenly across space or a population. The term combines równy "equal" with a suffixed form that creates adjectives describing distribution of types or elements.

In ecology and biology, a równorodny community or population would have roughly equal abundance of its constituent species or genetic variants. In chemistry and materials science, a równorodny alloy or mixture would contain constituents in equal volume or mass fractions. In sociology or demography, it can describe a population in which different groups are equally represented.

The concept is distinct from related terms: różnorodny (różnorodny) means "diverse"; jednorodny means "homogeneous" or "uniform in composition"; równomierny means "evenly distributed" across space. In practice, równorodny is most often used when the emphasis is on equal representation among discrete categories rather than purely spatial uniformity.

Note: The non-diacritic form is common in non-Polish texts; the standard Polish spelling is równorodny.
