The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Non-native and native organisms moving into high elevation and high latitude ecosystems in an era of climate change: new challenges for ecology and conservation (2016, background): “In any case, disease expression is likely to increase with climate warming (Cahill et al. 2008).”
Containment and spot eradication of a highly destructive, invasive plant pathogen (Phytophthora cinnamomi) in natural ecosystems (2010, background): “In eastern Australia the pathogen also threatens populations of endemic flora (Peters and Weste 1997; Reiter et al. 2004), including the ‘living fossil’ Wollemia nobilis within one of its three known occurrences (Cahill et al. 2008).”
Novel associations between pathogens, insects and tree species threaten world forests (2010, background): “Tree pathogens with a broad host range that have been introduced into new environments, such as Phytophthora spp. (Weste & Marks, 1987; Linde et al., 1999; Cahill et al., 2008) are able to damage a much wider suite of trees, although typically some species are more seriously affected than others.”
Complexity in climate-change impacts: an analytical framework for effects mediated by plant disease (2011, background): “In natural systems, plant disease may threaten natural plant diversity, as with the impact of Phytophthora cinnamomi in Australia (Cahill et al., 2008).”
