Scalable and Flexible Derivation of Custom-Time Bioclimatic and Environmental Summary Variables
Provides an efficient tool for creating custom-time bioclimatic and derived environmental summary variables from user-supplied raster data for user-defined timeframes. The package overcomes computational bottlenecks by automatically switching between an in-memory framework using the 'terra' package to maximize speed for smaller datasets, and an on-disk tiling framework for rasters that exceed available RAM, leveraging 'exactextractr' and 'Rfast' to process data in chunks. The core functions, derive_bioclim() and derive_statistics(), offer a unified interface with flexibility for custom time periods beyond standard quarters and the use of fixed temporal indices, facilitating the creation of temporally-matched environmental variables for ecological and biogeographical modeling.
