Resilience of forests to pathogens: An evolutionary ecology perspective (2015, background): “A current example of this phenomenon appears to be the epidemic outbreak of Dothistroma needle blight on P. contorta in British Columbia associated with a local increase in summer precipitation (Woods et al., 2005; Welsh et al., 2009).”

Simulating the effects of a climate-change scenario on the geographical range and activity of forest-pathogenic fungi (2007, background): “Therefore, the response of parasites to water factors is likely to be a determining process in their response to climate change (Woods et al. 2005).”
Impacts of global change on diseases of agricultural crops and forest trees (2008, methodology): “Using datasets covering only 40‐50 years, Woods et al. [ 10 ] have found a strong relationship between increase in”
Production and fitness of Fusarium pseudograminearum inoculum at elevated carbon dioxide in FACE (2010, background): “Some studies now link disease prevalence or severity to long-term climate (Woods et al., 2005; Hannukkala et al., 2007) and changing atmospheric composition (Shaw et al., 2008).”
Global geographic distribution and host range of Dothistroma species: a comprehensive review (2016, neutral): “The most widespread variety, P. contorta var. latifolia , has been classified as highly susceptible to D. septos-porum following a widespread and highly damaging epidemic on this variety in British Columbia (Woods et al., 2005).”
Climate change and forest diseases (2011, background): “latifolia (Woods et al., 2005).”
Implications of climate change for diseases, crop yields and food security (2011, background): “Not least of these are the effects on the geographic distributions of pests and pathogens (e.g. Woods et al. 2005; Admassu et al. 2008; Elphinstone and Toth 2008), with potentially serious implications for food security.”

Potential effects of climate change on ecosystem and tree species distribution in British Columbia. (2006, background): “…native disease, Dothistroma needle blight, which is starting to cause widespread damage in northeast British Columbia , has been causally linked to increased frequency of warm and moist conditions that were experimentally found to be favorable for infections by this fungus (Woods et al. 2005).”
Climate change effects on plant disease: genomes to ecosystems. (2006, background): “In North America, needle blight caused by Dothistroma septosporum is moving north with increasing temperatures and precipitation (148).”
Adaptation, migration or extirpation: climate change outcomes for tree populations (2008, background): “In British Columbia, an endemic but previously low-impact disease caused by the fungus Dothistroma is now causing substantial damage to lodgepole pine in a region experiencing warmer and wetter summer conditions over the past decade compared to the previous century (Woods et al. 2005).”
Epidemiological modeling of invasion in heterogeneous landscapes: spread of sudden oak death in California (1990–2030) (2011, background): “Although forest pathogens are substantially more sensitive to shifts in weather conditions than their host tree species (Woods et al. 2005), predictive epidemiological models should also begin considering the role that climate change may play in redistributing competent host species.”
