Description: Provides an efficient tool for creating custom-time bioclimatic and derived environmental 
    summary variables from user-supplied raster data for user-defined timeframes. The package overcomes 
    computational bottlenecks by automatically switching between an in-memory framework using the 'terra' 
    package to maximize speed for smaller datasets, and an on-disk tiling framework for rasters that exceed 
    available RAM, leveraging 'exactextractr' and 'Rfast' to process data in chunks. The core functions, 
    derive_bioclim() and derive_statistics(), offer a unified interface with flexibility for custom time 
    periods beyond standard quarters and the use of fixed temporal indices, facilitating the creation of 
    temporally-matched environmental variables for ecological and biogeographical modeling. Visit 
    the package website <https://gepinillab.github.io/fastbioclim/> to find tutorials in English and Spanish.
