Reproducibly classifies occurrence records into biome classes using 31 published global terrestrial biome schemes compiled by Fischer and colleagues (2022) <doi:10.1111/geb.13574>, provided as harmonised raster layers at 10x10 km resolution globally. Includes functions to choose the most suitable biome scheme for a dataset by a data-driven ranking, to classify occurrence records, and to tabulate and visualise the result. Works with user-provided occurrences or a taxon name, in which case occurrences are downloaded from GBIF (<https://www.gbif.org>) and cleaned automatically.
