UGent-Woodlab/XCT.read-R-function: V2

XCT.Read function accompanying the pipeline described in the paper "X-ray micro-CT pipeline for large-scale tree-ring densitometry studies" This is a zenodo backup of the github repository for the XCT.Read R-function. Check GitHub for the latest version. This function was created to easily read and calculate ring width and density parameters using the txt-formatted ring indications and density profile output from the MATLAB-based RingIndicator software, created at UGent-Woodlab (more info on our website and in this paper). The section of the profile where a density parameter is calculated can be set by the user: either a fraction of the ring (e.g. the second quarter of each ring) or a fixed width (e.g. the last 100 µm of each ring). The output of the function is a dplR or a long format data frame. This is part of a pipeline available in the 2025 Dendrochronologia paper "X-ray micro-CT pipeline for large-scale tree-ring densitometry studies" by Verschuren and co-authors.
