如果我们想学习如何应对COVID-19大流行，我们必须接受这一全球现象的复杂性，并捕捉跨规模和背景的相互依赖性。然而，我们仍然缺乏可以用来全面处理这一流行病及其影响的系统办法。在本讨论中，我们首先介绍一个框架，从整体环境的角度强调COVID-19大流行的系统性，整体环境是一个自我调节和不断发展的系统，由三个领域组成，即地圈、生物圈和人类圈。然后，我们使用这个框架来探索和组织来自数量迅速增长的科学论文、预印本、初步科学报告和新闻报道的信息，这些信息为我们提供了对大流行危机的见解。通过这项工作，我们指出，大流行应该被理解为导致人类，生物和地球化学多样性枯竭的先决条件以及对这三个领域产生不同影响的反馈的结果。我们认为，保护和促进多样性是必要的，以促进更有效的嘲笑制造过程和政策干预，以面对当前和未来的流行病。(C)2020爱思唯尔B.

If we want to learn how to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to embrace the complexity of this global phenomenon and capture interdependencies across scales and contexts. Yet, we still lack systematic approaches that we can use to deal holistically with the pandemic and its effects. In this Discussion, we first introduce a framework that highlights the systemic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of the total envi-ronment as a self-regulating and evolving system comprising of three spheres, the Geosphere, the Biosphere, and the Anthroposphere. Then, we use this framework to explore and organize information from the rapidly growing number of scientific papers, preprints, preliminary scientific reports, and journalistic pieces that give insights into the pandemic crisis. With this work, we point out that the pandemic should be understood as the result of preconditions that led to depletion of human, biological, and geochemical diversity as well as of feedback that differ-entially impacted the three spheres. We contend that protecting and promoting diversity, is necessary to contribute to more effective derision-malting processes and policy interventions to face the current and future pandemics.
