Process: Add Crop Residue Amounts (P 65)

This process allows the addition of crop residue to the field. This process not only simulates the typical flat residue additions, but can also be used to add standing and buried residue. Its parameters are:

Number of Standing Residue Stems
Number of standing residue stems added per unit area.

Standing Residue Height
Height of added standing residue stems.

Standing Residue mass
Mass of added standing residue stems.

Flat Surface Residue Mass
Mass of flat residue added per unit area.

Residue Size/Toughness Class
Flatten Standing Biomass

Buried Residue Mass
Mass of added residue.

Buried Residue Mass
Maximum depth of added buried residue.

Root Residue Mass
Mass of added root residue per unit area.

Root Residue Depth
Maximum depth of added root residue.
