# Landuse and Management

There are several SWAT+ files that control the simulation of land use and management. The file [landuse.lum](/io-docs/introduction-1/landuse-and-management/landuse.lum.md) summarizes the main land use information and references several other files that specify the details: 

* [plant.ini](/io-docs/introduction-1/landuse-and-management/plant.ini.md) stores information about the plants growing in a rotation or plant community, 
* [management.sch](/io-docs/introduction-1/landuse-and-management/management.sch.md) is used to schedule management operations by heat units or dates and/or to list the decision tables to use for scheduling and conditioning management operations, 
* [lum.dtl](/io-docs/introduction-1/decision-tables/lum.dtl.md) contains the land use and management decision tables, 
* [cntable.lum](/io-docs/introduction-1/landuse-and-management/cntable.lum.md) lists typical Curve Number values for different land use types, 
* [cons\_practice.lum](/io-docs/introduction-1/landuse-and-management/cons_practice.lum.md) lists the USLE P values and slope lengths for various conservation practices, 
* [ovn\_table.lum](/io-docs/introduction-1/landuse-and-management/ovn_table.lum.md) lists overland Manning's n values for different tillage and land cover types.
