#---------------------- # # This is the translation file for converting NRCS RUSLE2 "skeleton" files to WEPS files. The entries are # consulted when a RUSLE2 operation or crop is not found in the WEPS databases when the skeleton files are being imported. # There are 3 columns seperated by pipe | characters. # # Column 1 - The RUSLE2 name of an operation or crop # # Column 2 - What to do when it is encountered, currently the 3 options are: # rename - change name of operation or crop to match a WEPS value # delete - if name is an operation it removes the entire line # if name is a crop it deletes only the crop portion of entry # renameAndDeleteCrop - changes name of operation, if a crop is part of the entry the crop field is cleared. #Hmm, looks like we need a "renameAndAddCrop" option also - LEW # # Column 3 - The WEPS name to be used. # If column 1 is a crop name and column 2 is set to "rename", then "none" specified in column 3 # will clear the crop field # Lines in the file that start with a # are considered comment lines. # # January 7, 2005 - jrf # # # Notes from Jim's email message to me on Jan 7, 2005 - LEW # # In the rusle2 translation file if the rusle2 name maps to a vegetation then a 'delete' will delete that vegetation entry from # any weps records, it will still leave the operation - just the crop column will be empty. The same applies if the action is # 'rename|none' and the rusle2 name is a vegetation - the weps crop column becomes empty. # # There is a new action you can put in the rusle2 translation file: 'renameAndDeleteCrop' which applies an operation rename and # then blanks the crop entry if one is present with this operation. # # For manually doing crop removals the first entry in the crop dropdown list is now blank which effectively clears the crop # field if this is selected. When the data is converted to a weps management file these crop entries are not included. # #----------------------- # Example line that would remove the RUSLE2 operation from the generated WEPS man file (based upon a RUSLE2 operation name) #Harvest, hay, legume|delete|none # #Based upon Jim's documentation, the following two lines perform the same function at this time. # Example line that would remove only the RUSLE2 crop from the generated WEPS man file (based upon a RUSLE2 crop name) #Alfalfa, yr4 regrowth after cutting|delete|none # Example line that would remove only the RUSLE2 crop from the generated WEPS man file (based upon a RUSLE2 crop name) #Alfalfa, yr4 regrowth after cutting|rename|none # # Example line that would rename the operation and remove a crop entry if it exists #Harvest, hay, legume|RenameAndDeleteCrop|Harvest/Harvest (cut and remove whole plant above cut height) #----------------------- Drill or airseeder, double disk|rename|Plant/Drill - double disk openers (8 inch row spacing) Harvest, killing crop 50pct standing stubble|rename|Harvest/Harvest Small Grain (stripper) Barley, spring2|rename|Barley, spring Chisel, st. pt.|rename|Till/Chisel plow - 2 inch wide straight pts #Harvest, hay, legume|RenameAndDeleteCrop|Harvest/Harvest (cut and remove whole plant above cut height) Alfalfa, yr4 regrowth after cutting|rename|none Wheat, spring 7in rows|rename|wheat, spring Chisel, twisted shovel|rename|Till/Chisel plow (3 inch wide twisted pts) Disk, tandem light finishing|rename|Till/Disk harrow, tandem, inline (16 inch dia blades, 7 inch spacing) Disk, tandem heavy primary op.|rename|Till/Disk harrow, Tandem, Offset (20 inch dia blades, 13 inch blade spacing) Cultivator, field 6-12 in sweeps|rename|Cultivate/Cultivator, Field (9 inch shovels) Chisel, sweep shovel|rename|Till/Chisel plow (11.5 inch sweeps) Drill or airseeder, offset double disk openers|rename|Plant/Drill, air seeder, chisel opener (12 inch row spacing) # CMZ 20 Plow, moldboard|rename|Till/Moldboard plow - 16 inch furrow slice (no moldboard attachments) Disk, tandem secondary op.|rename|Till/Disk harrow, tandem, inline (16 inch dia blades, 7 inch spacing) Land plane|rename|Other/Scraper, land plane, leveler Alfalfa, spring seed|rename|alfalfa, hay Alfalfa, spring seed regrowth after cutting|delete|none Alfalfa, spring seed senes to yr2 regrowth|delete|none Alfalfa, spring seed senes to y2 regrowth|delete|none Alfalfa, yr2 regrowth after cutting|delete|none alfalfa, yr2 regrowth after cutting|delete|none Alfalfa, yr2 senes to yr3 regrowth|delete|none Alfalfa, yr3 regrowth after cutting|delete|none alfalfa, yr3 regrowth after cutting|delete|none Alfalfa, yr3 senes to yr4 regrowth|delete|none Alfalfa, yr4 regrowth after cutting|delete|none Alfalfa, yr4 senes to yr5 regrowth|delete|none Alfalfa, fall seed senes to yr2 regrowth|delete|none # # Note that this one was used as a planting record (not a good thing for RUSLE2 to do with a "re-growth" record) alfalfa, fall seed senes to yr2 regrowth|rename|alfalfa, hay # Harvest, hay, legume|rename|Harvest/Biomass removal 70 percent Bedder, hipper, disk hiller|rename|Till/Bedder Planter, double disk opener on 8 inch high beds|rename|Plant/Drill - double disk openers (8 inch row spacing) Cultivator, row 3 in ridge|rename|Cultivate/Cultivator, row crop, 30 inch row spacing (3 inch ridge ht) Cultivator, row 1 in ridge|rename|Cultivate/Cultivator, row crop, 30 inch row spacing (1 inch ridge ht) Harvest, cotton|rename|Harvest/Harvest Crop (leave stalks undisturbed) Cotton, stripper|rename|cotton, High Plains Do all|rename|Till/Harrow, rollers fore and aft, tines (3 ranks, 2 inch lateral spacing) Planter, double disk opener on 12 inch high beds|rename|Plant/Drill - hoe openers (12 inch row spacing) Harvest, silage|rename|Harvest/Harvest (cut and remove whole plant above cut height) # # Can't add "manure" crop with this substitution Manure spreader, solid and semi-solid|rename|Other/Add Crop Residue
