The data layers can be used in Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) to predict the distribution of biodiversity, address niche-based questions, unravel biogeographic patterns, and support the conservation of global marine biodiversity at the global scale. The availability of data under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway scenarios of CMIP6 allows projecting the implications of future change to marine biodiversity, contributing to inform climate policy. * the average, maximum, and minimum records of a given decade, long-term average of the yearly maxima and minima of a given decade (e.g., the average temperature of the warmest month in the period 2000-2010), and range, which represents the average absolute difference between the maximum and minimum records per year. ** because focal cells at 0.05 degree resolution comprise a wide range of depth values, the benthic layers were developed for the minimum, average, and maximum depth within focal cells.BiogeographyEnvironmentMarineMacroecologyOceanography <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((-180 -90, -180 90, 180 90, 180 -90, -180 -90)) ERDDAP Bio-ORACLEhttps://erddap.bio-oracle.org/erddapBio-ORACLE Websitehttps://bio-oracle.orgPython modulehttps://github.com/bio-oracle/pyo_oracleR packagehttps://github.com/bio-oracle/biooraclerUniversidade do AlgarveNord UniversitetFlanders Marine InstituteUniversity of MelbourneGhent UniversityEnglish
