A total of 20% of used species have been classified as threatened nationally or globally, according to at least one of the various threat assessments that have been made for the Chinese flora. This comprehensive inventory of the useful plants of China, with relevant ethnobotanical information ...
The 496 and 58 taxa of vascular plants native to Ulleungdo and Dokdo islands were classified based on the genera of vascular of Korea (F.K.E.C. 2007), respectively. We provide details on those endangered plants characterized by small population sizes and numbers, and discuss measures for the...
Using the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative database7, we determined native tree status (native or non-native) according to the Global Naturalized Alien Flora6and the KEW Plants of the World databases5. This dataset encompassed 471,888 plots, of which 4.9% of plots were invaded, or containe...
Root-knot nematodes (RKNs; Heteroderidae) are the most severe soil-borne parasites damaging almost all economically important crops in the world1. It was estimated that RKNs parasitize the majority of vascular plants and infect nearly every species of flowering plants, causing tremendous yield lo...
The nationally determined contribution (NDC) presented by Argentina within the framework of the Paris Agreement is aligned with the decisions made in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on the reduction of em
Since the mid 1990s populations of non-native apple snails (Ampullariidae) have been discovered with increasing frequency in the continental United States. Given the dramatic effects that introduced apple snails have had on both natural habitats and agri
Hidden risks are associated withspecies concepts. Different names applied over time may not be simply and unequivocally linkable to biological entities. If a species is moved between two genera (e.g., the crazy antParatrechina fulvaMayr is re-namedNylanderia fulvaMayr), the two names refer to...

Besides being central for understanding both global biodiversity patterns and associated anthropogenic impacts, species range maps are currently only available for a small subset of global biodiversity. Here, we provide a set of assembled spatial data for terrestrial vascular plants listed at the global...
