Process: Set Crop Residue Amounts (P 50)

Sets the crop residue amounts (flat, standing and buried) and thus can be used in an "O 0" initialization operation since it resets all the variables to the specified values. This is in contrast to the P 65 "Add Crop Residue" process which just changes the quantities relative to the current values. Ten additional crop "decomposition" parameters are also used.

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

Standing Residue Height
Set height of standing residue stems.

Standing Residue Mass
Set mass of standing residue stems.

Flat Surface Residue Mass
Set mass of flat residue per unit area.

Residue Size/Toughness Class
Set residue size/toughness class for residue.

Buried Residue Mass
Set mass of buried residue.

Buried Residue Depth.
Set maximum depth of buried residue.

Root Residue Depth
Set maximum depth of root residue.
