The C:N:P stoichiometry of organisms and ecosystems in a changing world: A review and perspectives (2012, background): “pathogen loadings in plants (Mitchell et al., 2003) and the size and aggressiveness of plant pathogens (Chakraborty and Datta, 2003) increase in response to elevated atmospheric [CO2] levels.”
Impacts of global change on diseases of agricultural crops and forest trees (2008, background): “[105] considered the effects on disease load in tallgrass prairie of plant diversity, nitrogen deposition and increased atmospheric CO2.”
Diseases in tropical and plantation crops as affected by climate changes: current knowledge and perspectives (2011, background): “There are several OTC (Bortier et al., 2000; Riikonen et al., 2008) and FACE facilities worldwide, ranging from annual crops to forestry species, and some of these have dealt with plant diseases (Percy et al., 2002; Mitchell et al., 2003; Eastburn et al., 2010).”
The New Integrated Pest Management Paradigm for the Modern Age (2019, unknown): “High (Mitchell et al. 2003) or low nitrogen (Snoeijers et al. 2000) content in the plant can also contribute to some disease problems.”
Mechanisms responsible for the positive diversity–productivity relationship in Minnesota grasslands (2004, methodology): “We used disease severity (the proportion of leaf area covered by foliar pathogens) collected from this and two other diversity experiments (Knops et al. 1999; Mitchell et al. 2002, 2003) to quantify the per species release from host-specific foliar pathogens with increasing diversity.”
Elevated CO2 reduces disease incidence and severity of a red maple fungal pathogen via changes in host physiology and leaf chemistry (2005, background): “…recent studies, severity was decreased in three (Thompson et al., 1993; Thompson & Drake, 1994; Chakraborty et al., 2000b), unchanged in three (Hibberd et al., 1996; Tiedemann & Firsching, 2000; Percy et al., 2002), and increased in two pathosystems (Thompson & Drake, 1994; Mitchell et al., 2003).”
Effects of species diversity on disease risk. (2006, background): “For example, Knops et al. (1999) and Mitchell et al. (2002, 2003) investigated the effects of plant species richness on the prevalence of foliar fungal diseases, each specific to a particular host plant species.”
Climate change effects on plant disease: genomes to ecosystems. (2006, background): “(91) found that elevated CO2 increased the pathogen load (89) of C3 grasses, perhaps due to increased leaf longevity and photosynthetic rate.”
The effect of climate change on plant diseases (2012, background): “Studies had shown that exposure at elevated CO2 increases disease incidence or severity in some cases (Shin and Yun, 2010; McElrone, 2010; Eastburn et al., 2010; Kobayashi et al., 2006; Mitchell et al., 2003; Thompson and Drake, 1994) but in other cases decreased (Hibberd et al.”
Plants in a warmer world (2003, background): “However, there is no doubt that their ecological impacts on the composition and functioning of ecosystems will be substantial (cf. e.g. Scherm & Coakley 2003; Mitchell et al. 2003; see also Chapin et al. 1997; Epstein 2001; Gilbert 2002; Harvell et al. 2002).”
Potential impact of climate change on plant-pathogen interactions (2005, background): “At a FACE site in Minnesota, the abundance of 16 pathogenic fungi increased under elevated CO2, nitrogen fertilisation in C4 grasses and where plant diversity decreased in a grassland ecosystem (Mitchell et al. 2003).”
Production and fitness of Fusarium pseudograminearum inoculum at elevated carbon dioxide in FACE (2010, background): “Of the handful of FACE studies to consider plant diseases, the DukeFACE (Mcelrone et al., 2005; Palmroth et al., 2005), bioCON (Mitchell et al., 2003; Strengbom & Reich, 2006), POPFACE (ScarasciaMugnozza et al., 2005) and Aspen FACE (Karnosky et al., 2002) all deal with forestry species or…”
