Adaptación del método de Tipos de Regímenes Bioclimáticos (TRB) a la isla de El Hierro (Canarias)

Types of Bioclimatic Regimes (TBR) is a global bioclimatic classification methodology that integrates thermo-pluviometric and edaphic data. Since 2022, the BIOCLIM package in RStudio has facilitated the application of this classification across various fields of study. This study tests the TRB method in El Hierro, a volcanic island characterized by complex geographical features and high biodiversity, to evaluate its applicability on large scales. The Universal Kriging (UK) method was employed for the spatial interpolation of maps. Additionally, for the bioclimatic subtypes map (TBRs), a multiple linear regression model adjusted using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and a residual correction via Ordinary Kriging (OK) were applied. The evaluation of the interpolations demonstrates good precision, although with limitations in the higher and more inaccessible areas of the island. The results provide an updated, detailed, and adjusted bioclimatic map, which is crucial in the context of the climate emergency.
