Long fallow ratio
A ratio reflecting the time/area during the full rotation relative to the rotation excluding fallow. It should always be greater than 1, with higher values indicating longer fallow durations relative to the rotation duration. If calculated from time based terms, it is "rotationDuration / (rotationDuration - longFallowPeriod)". If calculated from area, it is the total cropland area divided by the area harvested in a year (where total cropland area included areas under long fallow). Long fallow is defined as areas left fallow for more than a year but less than five years.
