Here, we described the myClim R package for microclimate data processing, storage and analyses. The myClim package provides a complete workflow for microclimate data handling, including a reading of raw data files from microclimatic loggers, their preprocessing and cleaning, time series aggregation, calculation of ecologically relevantmicroclimatic variables, and flexible data export options. The myClim R package thus implements the complete microclimatic workflow from the import of the raw microclimatic time series to the calculation of ecologically relevant variables in a standardised and fully reproducible manner using open-source code. Such technical advance is crucial for much-needed global data syntheses and will facilitate wider incorporation of microclimate into global change biology and ecology.
