BioClimPolar_2100 Dataset

BioClimPolar_2100 is a dataset containing a set of raster map layers of bioclimatic variables, which is specially developed for terrestrial Arctic and Circumpolar areas (land surface north to N45), with consideration of the plausible ecological requirements for both plants and animals. Data are available from 1980AD to 2100AD with three discrete time periods and at a spatial resolution of 10 Km. Both pure climate variables (monthly mean temperature in tavg.zip and total precipitation in Prec.zip) and bioclimatical variables (for plant in file BP.zip, and for animals in file BA.zip) are included. This dataset is in complementary with another dataset BioClimPolar_2300, one for past and the other for future. R scripts in producing the dataset are also provided (in Scripts.zip).
