The residue report displays average live plus dead above ground biomass conditions that exixted on the end date for the period reported. The conditions displayed includes flat cover, effective standing silhouette, flat mass, and standing mass. Flat cover is the fraction of live plus dead crop biomass cover from a verticle view. Effective standing silhouette is the standing silhouette area index of live plus dead plants. These values are standing silhouette area per area of soil surface expressed as a fraction. If the plants are planted in the furrow as opposed to the ridge top, the index is adjusted (down) to have less of an effect on the wind. Flat mass is the above ground biomass that is lying flat on the soil surface. Standing mass is the above ground biomass that is in a standing or upright position on the soil surface.
