#' Documentation for the WorldClim datasets
#'
#' WorldClim version 2.1 is a database of high spatial resolution global weather
#' and climate data, covering both the present and future projections.
#'
#' IMPORTANT: If you use this dataset, make sure to cite the original
#' publication:
#'
#' Fick, S.E. and R.J. Hijmans, 2017. WorldClim 2: new 1km spatial resolution
#' climate surfaces for global land areas. International Journal of Climatology
#' 37 (12): 4302-4315. \doi{10.1002/joc.5086}
#'
#' **Present-day reconstructions** are based on the mean for the
#' period 1970-2000,
#' and are available at multiple resolutions of 10 arc-minutes, 5 arc-minutes,
#' 2.5 arc-minute and 0.5 arc-minutes. The resolution of interest can be
#' obtained by changing the ending of the dataset name
#' *WorldClim_2.1_RESm*, e.g. *WorldClim_2.1_10m* or *WorldClim_2.1_5m*
#' (currently, only 10m and 5m are currently available in `pastclim`). In
#' `pastclim`, the datasets are given a date of 1985 CE (the mid-point of the
#' period of interest). There are 19 “bioclimatic” variables, as well as monthly
#' estimates for minimum, mean, and maximum temperature, and precipitation.
#'
#' **Future projections** are based on the models in CMIP6,
#' downscaled and de-biased
#' using WorldClim 2.1 for the present as a baseline. Monthly values of minimum
#' temperature, maximum temperature, and precipitation, as well as 19
#' bioclimatic variables were processed for 23 global climate models (GCMs), and
#' for four Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs): 126, 245, 370 and 585. Model
#' and SSP can be chosen by changing the ending of the dataset name
#' *WorldClim_2.1_GCM_SSP_RESm*.
#'
#' Available values for GCM are: "ACCESS-CM2", "BCC-CSM2-MR", "CMCC-ESM2",
#' "EC-Earth3-Veg", "FIO-ESM-2-0", "GFDL-ESM4", "GISS-E2-1-G",
#' "HadGEM3-GC31-LL", "INM-CM5-0", "IPSL-CM6A-LR", "MIROC6", "MPI-ESM1-2-HR",
#' "MRI-ESM2-0", and "UKESM1-0-LL". For SSP, use: "ssp126",
#' "ssp245",	"ssp370",	and "ssp585". RES takes the same values as for present
#' reconstructions (i.e. "10m", "5m", "2.5m", and "0.5m"). Example dataset names
#' are
#' *WorldClim_2.1_ACCESS-CM2_ssp245_10m* and
#' *WorldClim_2.1_MRI-ESM2-0_ssp370_5m*.
#' Four combination (namely *FIO-ESM-2-0_ssp370*, *GFDL-ESM4_ssp245*,
#' *GFDL-ESM4_ssp585*, and *HadGEM3-GC31-LL_ssp370*) are NOT available.
#'
#' The dataset are averages over 20 year periods (2021-2040, 2041-2060,
#' 2061-2080, 2081-2100). In `pastclim`, the midpoints of the periods (2030,
#' 2050, 2070, 2090) are used as the time stamps. All 4 periods are
#' automatically downloaded for each combination of GCM model and SSP, and are
#' selected as usual by defining the time in functions such as [region_slice()].

#' Documentation for the Barreto et al 2023 dataset
#'
#' Spatio-temporal series of monthly temperature and precipitation and 17
#' derived bioclimatic variables covering the last 5 Ma (Pliocene–Pleistocene),
#' at intervals of 1,000 years, and a spatial resolution of 1 arc-degrees (see
#' Barreto et al., 2023 for details).
#'
#' PALEO-PGEM-Series is downscaled to 1 × 1 arc-degrees spatial resolution from
#' the outputs of the PALEO-PGEM emulator (Holden et al., 2019), which emulates
#' reasonable and extensively validated global estimates of monthly temperature
#' and precipitation for the Plio-Pleistocene every 1 kyr at a spatial
#' resolution of ~5 × 5 arc-degrees (Holden et al., 2016, 2019).
#'
#' PALEO-PGEM-Series includes the mean and the standard deviation (i.e.,
#' standard error) of the emulated climate over 10 stochastic GCM emulations to
#' accommodate aspects of model uncertainty. This allows users to estimate the
#' robustness of their results in the face of the stochastic aspects of the
#' emulations. For more details, see Section 2.4 in Barreto et al. (2023).
#'
#' Note that this is a very large dataset, with 5001 time slices. It takes
#' approximately 1 minute to set up each variable when creating a region_slice
#' or region_series. However, once the object has been created, other operations
#' tend to be much faster (especially if you subset the dataset to a small
#' number of time steps of interest).

#' Documentation for *HYDE 3.3* dataset
#'
#' This database presents an update and expansion of the History Database of the
#' Global Environment (HYDE, v 3.3) and replaces former HYDE 3.2 version from
#' 2017. HYDE is and internally consistent combination of updated historical
#' population estimates and land use. Categories include cropland, with a new
#' distinction into irrigated and rain fed crops (other than rice) and irrigated
#' and rain fed rice. Also grazing lands are provided, divided into more
#' intensively used pasture, converted rangeland and non-converted natural (less
#' intensively used) rangeland. Population is represented by maps of total,
#' urban, rural population and population density as well as built-up area.
#'
#' The period covered is 10 000 BCE to 2023 CE. Spatial resolution is 5 arc
#' minutes (approx. 85 km2 at the equator). The full *HYDE 3.3* release
#' contains: a Baseline estimate scenario, a Lower estimate scenario and an
#' Upper estimate scenario. Currently only the baseline scenario is available in
#' `pastclim`
#'
#' More details on the dataset are available on its dedicated

#' Documentation for *CHELSA 2.1*
#'
#' *CHELSA* version 2.1 is a database of high spatial resolution
#' global weather and
#' climate data, covering both the present and future projections.
#'
#' IMPORTANT: If you use this dataset, make sure to cite the original
#' publication for the *CHELSA* dataset:

#' resolution for the Earth land surface areas. Scientific Data. 4 170122.
#' \doi{10.1038/sdata.2017.122}
#'
#' **Present-day reconstructions** are based on the mean for
#' the period 1981-2000
#' and are available at at the high resolution of 0.5 arc-minutes
#' (*CHELSA_2.1_0.5m*). In `pastclim`, the datasets are given a date of 1990 CE
#' (the mid-point of the period of interest). There are 19 “bioclimatic”
#' variables, as well as monthly estimates for mean temperature, and
#' precipitation. The dataset is very large, as it includes estimates for the
#' oceans as well as the land masses. An alternative to downloading the very
#' large files is to use virtual rasters, which allow the data to remain on the
#' server, with only the pixels required for a given operation being downloaded.
#' Virtual rasters can be used by choosing (*CHELSA_2.1_0.5m_vsi*)
#'
#' **Future projections** are based on the models in CMIP6,
#' downscaled and de-biased
#' using the CHELSA algorithm 2.1. Monthly values of mean temperature, and total
#' precipitation, as well as 19 bioclimatic variables were processed for 5
#' global climate models (GCMs), and for three Shared Socio-economic Pathways
#' (SSPs): 126, 370 and 585. Model and SSP can be chosen by changing the ending
#' of the dataset name
#' *CHELSA_2.1_GCM_SSP_RESm*.
#'
#' Available values for GCM are: "GFDL-ESM4", "IPSL-CM6A-LR", "MPI-ESM1-2-HR",
#' "MRI-ESM2-0", and "UKESM1-0-LL". For SSP, use: "ssp126", "ssp370",	and
#' "ssp585". RES is currently limited to "0.5m". Example dataset names are
#' *CHELSA_2.1_GFDL-ESM4_ssp126_0.5m* and *CHELSA_2.1_UKESM1-0-LL_ssp370_0.5m*
#'
#' As for present reconstructions, an alternative to downloading the very large
#' files is to use virtual rasters. Simply append "_vis" to the name of the
#' dataset of interest (*CHELSA_2.1_GFDL-ESM4_ssp126_0.5m_vsi*).
#'
#' The dataset are averages over 30 year periods (2011-2040, 2041-2070,
#' 2071-2100). In `pastclim`, the midpoints of the periods (2025, 2055, 2075)
#' are used as the time stamps. All 3 periods are automatically downloaded for
#' each combination of GCM model and SSP, and are selected as usual by defining
#' the time in functions such as [region_slice()].

#' Documentation for *Paleoclim*
#'
#' *Paleoclim* is a set of high resolution paleoclimate reconstructions, mostly

#' `paleoclim_1.0_5m` at 5 arc-minutes (~10 km), and `paleoclim_1.0_10m` 10
#' arc-minutes (~20 km). All 19 biovariables are available. There are only a
#' limited number of time slices available for this dataset; furthermore,
#' currently only time slices from present to 130ka are available in `pastclim`.

#' Documentation for *CHELSA-TracCE21k*
#'
#' CHELSA-TraCE21k data provides monthly climate data for temperature and
#' precipitation at 30 arc-sec spatial resolution in 100-year time steps for the
#' last 21,000 years. Palaeo-orography at high spatial resolution and at each
#' time step is created by combining high resolution information on glacial
#' cover from current and Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) glacier databases with the
#' interpolation of a dynamic ice sheet model (ICE6G) and a coupling to mean
#' annual temperatures from CCSM3-TraCE21k. Based on the reconstructed
#' palaeo-orography, mean annual temperature and precipitation was downscaled
#' using the CHELSA V1.2 algorithm.
