Data and results for manuscript "Multi-frequency electrical impedance tomography as a non-invasive tool to characterize and monitor crop root systems "

Root systems are essential in nutrient uptake and translocation, but are difficult to characterize non-invasively with existing methods. We propose electrical impedance tomography (EIT) as a new tool for the imaging and monitoring of crop root systems. In a laboratory experiment we demonstrate the capability of the method to capture physiological responses of root systems with high spatial and temporal resolution. We conclude that EIT is a promising functional imaging technique for crop roots.

This package contains measured raw EIT data, electrical imaging results, spectral results from the Debye decomposition, and the Python scripts used to generate the plots in the manuscript.
