TL;DR: There is ample scope for restoring the global environment from the ill-effects of anthropogenic activities through temporary shutdown measures through temporaryshutdown measures, according to a high prospective meteorological suitability for COVID-19 spread.

TL;DR: Analysis of LSFs between 1959 and 2017 and the resistance strategies of Northern Hemisphere woody species to infer trees’ adaptations for minimizing frost damage to their leaves and to forecast forest vulnerability under the ongoing changes in frost frequencies reveals region-specific changes in the spring-frost risk that can inform decision-making in land management, forestry, agriculture, and insurance policy.

TL;DR: In this paper , a ground-sourced global database was used to estimate the number of tree species at biome, continental, and global scales, with most undiscovered species being rare, continentally endemic, and tropical or subtropical.

TL;DR: The very high anomalous precipitation (more than 500 mm) and release of water from reservoirs located in an upper catchment resulted in severe flood inundation situation in downslope region as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The high floristic diversity and presence of many rare/endangered species in the homegardens reflect the ways how owners utilize and conserve plant diversity, however, genetic diversity of such rare species of forest origin could be affected in managed ecosystems due to limited gene flow, inbreeding and selection pressure.
