Climate Change and Pathways Used by Pests as Challenges to Plant Health in Agriculture and Forestry
Climate change already challenges people’s livelihood globally and it also affects plant health. Rising temperatures facilitate the introduction and establishment of unwanted organisms, including arthropods, pathogens, and weeds (hereafter collectively called pests). For example, a single, unusually...

Climate change already challenges people’s livelihood globally and it also affects plant health.
