Each requirement is to be listed under a ”section” heading, as there will be a one-to-one correspondence between requirements, design, proposed imple- mentation and testing. Requirements should not discuss technical software issues, but rather focus on model capability. To the extent possible, require- ments should be relatively independent of each other, thus allowing a clean design solution, implementation and testing plan.
Algorithmic Formulations
The algorithm follows the approach in Kennedy et al. (2019), which solves vegetation water potential in the root, stem, and sunlit leaf and shaded leaf. Water stress factor BTRAN is a function of leaf water potential instead of the soil matric potential. Four steady state equations (continuity of fluxes) are solved given transpiration and soil matric potentials in each soil layer as boundary conditions.

For each requirement, there is a design solution that is intended to meet that requirement. Design solutions can include detailed technical discussions of PDEs, algorithms, solvers and similar, as well as technical discussion of performance issues. In general, this section should steer away from a detailed discussion of low-level software issues such as variable declarations, interfaces and sequencing.
