Bioclimatic dataset of Metropolitan France under current conditions derived from the WorldClim model.

ABSTRACT: Several studies have shown that adequate bioclimatic information is of major importance for mapping ecological niches or for modelling the distribution ranges of species and communities, particularly from a climate change perspective [1,2]. However, in France, there are few data sources that provide consistent information, available data being produced at low spatial resolution and based on classification systems that are not suitable for mapping French ecological systems. This paper presents bioclimatic maps produced on Metropolitan France and based on the Worldwide Bioclimatic Classification System, which are called Global Bioclimatics [3]. This data paper documents a set of variables that includes 23 bioclimatic maps generated according to the Worldwide Bioclimatic Classification System
