abstract: Provides an efficient tool for creating custom-time bioclimatic and derived
  environmental summary variables from user-supplied raster data for user-defined
  timeframes. The package overcomes computational bottlenecks by automatically switching
  between an in-memory framework using the 'terra' package to maximize speed for smaller
  datasets, and an on-disk tiling framework for rasters that exceed available RAM,
  leveraging 'exactextractr' and 'Rfast' to process data in chunks. The core functions,
  derive_bioclim() and derive_statistics(), offer a unified interface with flexibility
  for custom time periods beyond standard quarters and the use of fixed temporal indices,
  facilitating the creation of temporally-matched environmental variables for ecological
  and biogeographical modeling. Visit the package website <https://gepinillab.github.io/fastbioclim/>
