#' @title Provenancing Using Climate Analogues
#' 
#' @description An R package to identify provenances occupying projected analogous climates using contemporary and future climate projections.
#' 
#' @details Global climates are changing, and recent ecological restoration literature is pushing for a paradigm shift from traditional local provenancing to new restoration/reforestation provenancing strategies. The code implemented in this package employs the theory behind the climate-adjusted provenancing strategy of Prober \emph{et al.} 2015 by identifying areas of a species distribution which currently occupy analogous climates projected for the future. 
#'
#' The core function to implement the climate-adjusted provenancing strategy is \code{seedSource}, which can also be implemented via the graphical user interface (GUI) by calling \code{seedSourcing_GUI}. These functions rely on the climate and distribution data being named correctly prior to been read into \code{R}, and it is highly recommended the user first read the example vignette.
