How can I estimate the physical loss of standing crop residue (like rice or wheat or maize) from the soil surface from a no-till plot?

Dear Dr Mohanty,

In similar work we are estimating residue dry weight/unit area at different time intervals. Bedsides, it is hypothesized that since residues would undergo decomposition, the changes in specific compound (cellulose for rice), nutrient (say C for cereals) contents or ratio (e.g. C:N ratio) would be good indices. More information and suggestions would be highly appreciated.
