Arguments

climate

A vector of the climate variables to extract. See accClimateVariables for the list of accepted values.

xmn, xmx, ymn, ymx

The coordinates defining the study area.

continents

A vector of the continent names defining the study area.

countries

A vector of the country names defining the study area.

basins

A vector of the ocean names defining the study area.

sectors

A vector of the marine sector names defining the study area.

realms

A vector of the studied botanical realms defining the study area.

biomes

A vector of the studied botanical biomes defining the study area.

ecoregions

A vector of the studied botanical ecoregions defining the study area.

elev_min, elev_max

Parameters to only selected grid cells with an elevation higher than elev_min or lower than elev_max (default is 'NA ).

elev_range

Parameters discard the grid cell with a high elevation range (default is NA).

dbname

The name of the data source database.

Value

A matrix of occurrence records with the associated climate.
