BioClim
using SpeciesDistributionToolkit
layer = SDMLayer(RasterData(PaleoClim, BioClim)) The BioClim variables are derived from monthly data about precipitation and temperature, and convey information about annual variation, as well as extreme values for specific quarters. These variables are usually thought to represent limiting environmental conditions.
