climniche: Climate Exposure Relative to a Species' Climatic Niche

Quantifies projected climatic change relative to the climatic niche represented by a species' current distribution. A weighted current reference defines the niche centre and empirical radial boundary. Present and projected conditions at each location give local climatic displacement, signed change in niche distance, a derived non-radial reconfiguration term, and exceedance beyond the niche boundary. Occurrence records, range maps, and binary or continuous species distribution model outputs can define reference weights. Matrix and spatial workflows return location-level values, weighted summaries, maps and climatic-variable contributions.
