Co-evolved plant pathogens play an important role in shaping natural ecosystems.
However, plants used in agriculture and forestry have been distributed globally, and their …

5. Conclusions Natural forest ecosystems have many indigenous pathogens associated with
them, but genetic and age diversity of the host community prevents disease epidemics. This …

Plantation forestry based on Eucalyptus spp. has grown dramatically during the past
