气候变化是生物多样性重组的主要全球驱动力。气候第二功能的速度，或产生用于显示的输出（参见配偶变化和相关指标描述了气候变量随时间的空间变化，允许量化气候变化暴露和连通性，促进对物种范围变化反应的潜在范围的洞察。这些指标已广泛用于气候变化生态学研究，并为保护提供有用的信息。自近十年前首次提出以来，已经提出了对气候速度原始概念的多种扩展。然而，尽管它很实用，但目前还没有软件应用程序可以实现所有这些功能r 包 VoCC 通过提供计算气候速度和相关指标（从最初的制定到最新发展）的全面函数集来填补这一空白。在这里，我们通过一系列应用示例介绍了核心包功能。VoCC 包中的函数集是对现有工具组合的一个新的、有用的补充，可用于评估气候变化对物种和生态系统造成的风险。
Climate change is a primary global driver of biodiversity reorganization. The velocity of clisecondary functions, or to produce output for display (see mate change and related metrics describe the spatial change of climatic variables over time, allowing quantification of climate change exposure and connectivity, facilitating insights into the potential scope of species' range-shift responses. These metrics have been extensively used in climate-change ecology research and provide useful information for conservation. Multiple extensions to the original concept of climate velocity have been proposed since first presented nearly a decade ago. However, despite its utility, no software application is currently available that brings all these methods together. The r package VoCC fills this gap by providing a comprehensive collection of functions that calculate climate velocity and related metrics from their initial formulation to the latest developments. Here, we introduce the core package functionality through a series of applied examples. The collection of functions in the VoCC package represents a new, useful addition to the existing portfolio of tools with which to assess risks posed by climate change to species and ecosystems.
