Working with netCDF for Essential Biodiversity Variables

v0.5.3 · May 30, 2026 · GPL (>= 3)

Description

The concept of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBV, <https://geobon.org/ebvs/what-are-ebvs/>) comes with a data structure based on the Network Common Data Form (netCDF). The 'ebvcube' 'R' package provides functionality to easily create, access and visualise this data. The EBV netCDFs can be downloaded from the EBV Data Portal: Christian Langer/ iDiv (2020) <https://portal.geobon.org/>.
