  <dc:title>Download and Process Environmental Variables</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package envar version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides a unified interface to download, harmonise and extract a
    wide range of environmental and socio-economic variables from established
    open data web services (such as 'WorldClim' &lt;https://www.worldclim.org/&gt;,
    'CHELSA' &lt;https://chelsa-climate.org/&gt; and 'Bio-ORACLE'
    &lt;https://www.bio-oracle.org/&gt;, among others) for use in macroecology and
    biogeography. The package handles
    spatial subsetting to a study area, reprojection to a common coordinate
    reference system, and extraction of values at sampling points, so that
    predictors from heterogeneous sources can be assembled within a single
    reproducible workflow. Helper functions for collinearity checking and
    variable exploration are also included.</dc:description>
