The variable set was originally proposed by Nix (1986, ISBN:978-0-644-04887-3) for the BIOCLIM modelling system and is also distributed with the CHELSA climatologies (Karger et al., 2017 ). Provides both individual variable functions and a unified interface to compute all 19 variables at once. Designed as an R implementation of the 'xbioclim' C++ library (Robles Fernandez, 2026 ). Supports single-pixel vectors and block-based raster processing via 'terra' for memory-efficient handling of large spatial datasets. Includes helpers to transform ERA5-Land hourly reanalysis data (Muñoz-Sabater et al., 2021 ) into monthly climate inputs. authors: - family-names: Robles Fernandez given-names: Angel Luis email: a.l.robles.fernandez@gmail.com preferred-citation: type: manual title: 'xbioclim: Bioclimatic Variables from Monthly Climate Data' authors: - family-names: Robles Fernandez given-names: Angel Luis email: a.l.robles.fernandez@gmail.com year: '2026' notes: R package version 1.0.3 url: https://alrobles.github.io/xbioclim/ repository: https://alrobles.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/alrobles/xbioclim commit: 95f4301963df94bd4cf3a74cc77b1b60d281b1fd url: https://alrobles.github.io/xbioclim/ date-released: '2026-09-23' contact: - family-names: Robles Fernandez given-names: Angel Luis email: a.l.robles.fernandez@gmail.com
