Abstract: The Pore2Chip Python package is designed to create 2D micromodels using extracted data from 3D X-ray computed tomography (XCT) images.This package helps analyze soil structure and function, allowing for the investigation of hydro-biogeochemical processes that impact mineral extraction and reactivity, oxygen concentrations, and nutrient availability in disturbed or managed soils.Key metrics encompass pore size distributions, pore throat size distributions, and connectivity (pore coordination numbers).The final output is a 2D scalable SVG design representing a core or aggregate.Designs can be fabricated with methods such as laser etching, 3D printing, and photolithography.
