Description: Procedures for simulating biomes by equilibrium vegetation
        models, with a special focus on paleoenvironmental
        applications. Three widely used equilibrium biome models are
        currently implemented in the package: the Holdridge Life Zone
        (HLZ) system (Holdridge 1947,
        <doi:10.1126/science.105.2727.367>), the Köppen-Geiger
        classification (KGC) system (Köppen 1936,
        <https://koeppen-geiger.vu-wien.ac.at/pdf/Koppen_1936.pdf>) and
        the BIOME model (Prentice et al. 1992, <doi:10.2307/2845499>).
        Three climatic forest-steppe models are also implemented. An
        approach for estimating monthly time series of relative
        sunshine duration from temperature and precipitation data (Yin
        1999, <doi:10.1007/s007040050111>) is also adapted, allowing
        process-based biome models to be combined with high-resolution
        paleoclimate simulation datasets (e.g., CHELSA-TraCE21k v1.0
        dataset: <https://chelsa-climate.org/chelsa-trace21k/>).
