Land use	EHD (cm)	A	CC (%)	PH (m)	GC (—)	𝐸𝑡/𝐸𝑜	𝐶𝑓
Teff	5	0.15	85	0.2	0.85	0.5	0.5
Barley/wheat	12	0.3	60	0.3	0.80	0.58	0.3
Maize	12	0.25	50	1	0.75	0.68	0.25
Pulse	12	0.2	55	0.2	0.80	0.65	0.25
Grazing	12	0.2	80	0.18	0.80	0.8	0.1
Closure (grass/shrubs/bushes)	15	0.4	55	1.5	0.60	0.85	0.1
Mixed forest	20	0.5	65	1.8	0.65	0.9	0.01

EHD: Effective root depth; A: the percentage of rainfall contributing to permanent interception; CC: canopy cover fraction; PH: plant height; GC: ground cover; 𝐸_𝑡/𝐸_𝑜: the ratio of actual to potential evapotranspiration; and 𝐶_𝑓: the crop cover management factor.
