What does the number in the 'unManagedLandValue' field represent for different land types in the 'land_input_1.xml' file?

[pkyle]

Unmanaged land value in a region/basin is imputed from the value of managed land, which is computed from the lands involved in commodity production (forest products, livestock products, crops). This approach is documented further at the end of Kyle et al 2011 and is similar to what was documented in GCAM's original AgLU module: Sands and Leimbach 2003
