The component takes daily dead plant biomass (leaves, stems, storage organs, roots) and adds actual living biomass (green leaves, stems, storage organs, roots) to the rates when plant is killed or when parts of the plant are not removed on harvest (by default the roots).
There is additionally calculated the dead above ground biomass rate by summing up daily dead leaves rates, dead stems rates and dead storage organs rate.
Dead of plant or harvest is controlled by the two boolean inputs iDoKillPlant and iDoHarvest.
cRemoveLeavesOnHarvest, cRemoveStemsOnHarvest, ... determine, whether the coresponding biomass should be added to the dead biomass rate when harvest occurs. By default they are true for the above ground parts and false for the roots.
The component should normally run before the biomass component. In order to keep the model synchronised the output DoRemovePlant should be linked to other modules' iDoHarvest input, to force these modules to reset.
