Endophytes vs tree pathogens and pests: can they be used as biological control agents to improve tree health? (2019, background): “Most diseases are caused by microbial pathogens (fungi, bacteria and viruses), the effects of which are amplified during periods of unfavourable environmental conditions including unseasonal temperature shifts and extremes in rainfall patterns (Cazorla andMercado-Blanco 2016) and anthropogenic clima”
Shifting Climate, Altered Niche, and a Dynamic Conservation Strategy for Yellow-Cedar in the North Pacific Coastal Rainforest (2012, background): “A forest’s responses to climate change may appear as visible, extensive tree death expressed as forest declines (Sturrock et al. 2011) and insect outbreaks (Benz et al. 2010), or they may be detected in more subtle forms, such as changes in tree competitiveness and reproduction BioScience 62:…”
Estimate global risks of a forest disease under current and future climates using species distribution model and simple thermal model – Pine Wilt disease as a model case (2018, background): “Such a climate trend will influence the distribution of many species, including pests (Evans et al., 2002; Sturrock et al., 2011).”
Climate-driven risks to the climate mitigation potential of forests (2020, background): “Ambient moisture can influence pathogen survival and spread (75, 76).”
