Design of an object-oriented framework for modelling the partitioning of captured solar radiation and evapotranspiration in intercropping systems

x-library is a C++ object-oriented framework for modelling the partitioning of captured solar radiation and evapotranspiration in intercropping systems. The design and analysis of the x-library are done to ensure that the soil-plant-atmosphere system is categorised into classes, such as weather, mic...
