  <dc:title>Uniform Sampling of the Environmental Space</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package USE version 0.1.6</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides functions for uniform sampling of the environmental space, designed to assist species distribution modellers in gathering ecologically relevant pseudo-absence data. The method ensures balanced representation of environmental conditions and helps reduce sampling bias in model calibration. Based on the framework described by Da Re et al. (2023) &lt;doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14209&gt;.</dc:description>
