Description: This R package provides a simulation framework for
        biodiversity data cubes. This can start from simulating
        multiple species distributed in a landscape over a temporal
        scope. In a second phase, the simulation of a variety of
        observation processes and effort can generate actual occurrence
        datasets. Based on their (simulated) spatial uncertainty,
        occurrences can then be designated to a grid to form a data
        cube.
