abstract: Reproducibly classifies occurrence records into biomes using 31 published
  global biome schemes compiled by Fischer and colleagues (2022) <https://doi.org/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.
