<p>The dataset contains the raw data of 4 reconstructed images from x-ray computed tomography. The content of the images represents the 4D <em>in-vivo</em> evolution of a vegetated sand microstructure. The pixel size is 60 microns and equal for all the 3D images. The samples are partially saturated, with a relative density of 30%, and Maize root system growing in it (Day 2 and Day 6 post germination). The sand used are two different granulometry of Hostun sand. One set of data refers to Hostun_1.5-2, with D50=1.9mm, the other refers to Hostun_31, with D50=0.33mm.</p>
<p>The dataset can be used to recreate the image processing protocol to segment the root system and the soil matrix, as presented in Anselmucci at al, 2021a,b.</p>
<p>The data is intended to be used with the purpose to develop an automated root-segmentation tool.</p>
