Fig. 2. Representative soil cylinder with residues in the center and surface seal in the remaining area (Type I). R1 is the radius of the residue patch. R2 is the radius of the soil cylinder. D is the depth of the soil cylinder. Water may first run on to a residue-covered area from a surface-sealed area. Excess water from both the residue-covered area and surface-sealed area then become runoff, which is removed from the system
