Landscape effects might impede or increase spore dispersal and disease risk for crops, as
trees and hedges buffer winds and can behave as spore traps, therefore limiting diffusion of …

Crop pathogenic fungi may originate from reservoir pools including wild vegetation
surrounding fields, and it is thus important to characterize any potential source of pathogens …

Forest pathology inherently involves a landscape perspective, because tree pathogens
propagate according to heterogeneous spatial patterns of flow and isolation. Landscape …

Fungi are both agents of disease and mutualistic partners of plants. Previous studies have
tested the effects of abiotic or biotic factors on plant‐associated fungal communities in …

Fungi play important roles in the environment, agriculture, and human health. Most fungal
species spread by wind-driven dispersal of spores, determining their occurrence and …

The virulence evolution of multiple infections of parasites from the same species has been
modeled widely in evolution theory. However, experimental studies on this topic remain …

Soil‐borne pathogens are posited to maintain forest diversity. However, their in situ impact
and spatial variation are largely unknown. We examined spatial patterns of pathogenic …

Human‐caused changes in land use and land cover have dramatically altered ecosystems
worldwide and may facilitate the spread of infectious diseases. To address this issue, we …

Forest succession is important for sustainable forest management in terrestrial ecosystems.
However, knowledge about the response of soil microbes to forest disease-driven …

The challenge of observing interactions between plant pathogens, their hosts, and
environmental heterogeneity across multiple spatial scales commonly limits our ability to …
