# Landuse and Management

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

* [plant.ini](https://swatplus.gitbook.io/io-docs/introduction-1/landuse-and-management/plant.ini) stores information about the plants growing in a rotation or plant community, 
* [management.sch](https://swatplus.gitbook.io/io-docs/introduction-1/landuse-and-management/management.sch) 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](https://swatplus.gitbook.io/io-docs/introduction-1/decision-tables/lum.dtl) contains the land use and management decision tables, 
* [cntable.lum](https://swatplus.gitbook.io/io-docs/introduction-1/landuse-and-management/cntable.lum) lists typical Curve Number values for different land use types, 
* [cons\_practice.lum](https://swatplus.gitbook.io/io-docs/introduction-1/landuse-and-management/cons_practice.lum) lists the USLE P values and slope lengths for various conservation practices, 
* [ovn\_table.lum](https://swatplus.gitbook.io/io-docs/introduction-1/landuse-and-management/ovn_table.lum) lists overland Manning's n values for different tillage and land cover types.
