coreCT - Programmatic Analysis of Sediment Cores Using Computed Tomography Imaging
Computed tomography (CT) imaging is a powerful tool for understanding the composition of sediment cores. This package streamlines and accelerates the analysis of CT data generated in the context of environmental science. Included are tools for processing raw DICOM images to characterize sediment composition (sand, peat, etc.). Root analyses are also enabled, including measures of external surface area and volumes for user-defined root size classes. For a detailed description of the application of computed tomography imaging for sediment characterization, see: Davey, E., C. Wigand, R. Johnson, K. Sundberg, J. Morris, and C. Roman. (2011) <DOI: 10.1890/10-2037.1>.

Contains data, code, and figures from Hill et al. 2018a (Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology; <DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2018.07.006>) and Hill et al. 2018b (Data In Brief <DOI: 10.1016/j.dib.2018.09.133>). Datasets document plant allometry, stem heights, nutrient and stable isotope content, and sediment denitrification enzyme assays. The data and analysis offer an examination of nitrogen uptake and allocation in two salt marsh plant species.
