...For many applications, data at a fine (≤1 km2) spatial resolution are necessary to capture environmental variability that can be partly lost at lower resolutions, particularly in mountainous and other areas with steep climate gradients....

...We chose this method because it has been used in other global studies (New et al., 1999, 2002), performed well in comparative tests of multiple interpolation techniques (Hartkamp et al., 1999; Jarvis and Stuart, 2001), and because it is computationally efficient and easy to run....
