		Processing and Analyzing Dendrometer and Sap Flux Data // Data
		management and cleaning for dendrometer and sap flux data,
		including gap detection, NA identification, missing value
		interpolation, and date conversion. The package also calculates
		multiple growth metrics of tree radial change data, including
		the cumulative growth over the entire observation period, daily
		cumulative growth, and growth changes between adjacent time
		intervals. Various approaches can be applied to calculate the
		night delta-Tmax required for sap flow (Peters et al., 2018,
		doi: 10.1111/nph.15241) and subsequently estimate sap flow
		density (Granier, 1987, doi: 10.1093/treephys/3.4.309). In
		addition, it supports the creation of simple timeseries point
		plots to visually display the dynamic changes in tree growth
		status or sap flow density during that period.
