“…Introductions of novel plant pathogens have already occurred in many regions (Brown and Hovmøller 2002;Dehnen-Schmutz et al 2010;Stenlid et al 2011; Fig. 2), but climate changes are likely to often facilitate their further establishment and spread (Anderson et al 2004;Shaw 2009;Hannukkala 2011).…”

There has been a remarkable scientific output on the topic of how climate change is likely to affect plant diseases. This overview addresses the need for review of this burgeoning literature by summarizing opinions of previous reviews and trends in recent studies on the impacts of climate change on plant health. Sudden Oak Death is used as an introductory case study: Californian forests could become even more susceptible to this emerging plant disease, if spring precipitations will be accompanied by warmer temperatures, although climate shifts may also affect the current synchronicity between host cambium activity and pathogen colonization rate. A summary of observed and predicted climate changes, as well as of direct effects of climate change on pathosystems, is provided. Prediction and management of climate change effects on plant health are complicated by indirect effects and the interactions with global change drivers. Uncertainty in models of plant disease development under climate change calls for a diversity of management strategies, from more participatory approaches to interdisciplinary science. Involvement of stakeholders and scientists from outside plant pathology shows the importance of trade-offs, for example in the land-sharing vs. sparing debate. Further research is needed on climate change and plant health in mountain, boreal, Mediterranean and tropical regions, with multiple climate change factors and scenarios (including our responses to it, e.g. the assisted migration of plants), in relation to endophytes, viruses and mycorrhiza, using long-term and large-scale datasets and considering various plant disease control methods.Keywords Adaptive ecosystem management .

“…The combined drivers of climate change and expanding global trade are increasing the likelihood of pandemics of plant pathogens [19,20]. Trade has often been responsible for the spread of devastating pathogens that threaten the world's coffee, cocoa, maize, soya and wheat production [21].…”

Plant diseases threaten both food security and the botanical diversity of natural ecosystems. Substantial research effort is focused on pathogen detection and control, with detailed risk management available for many plant diseases. Risk can be assessed using analytical techniques that account for disease pressure both spatially and temporally. We suggest that such technical assessments of disease risk may not provide an adequate guide to the strategies undertaken by growers and government to manage plant disease. Instead, risk-management strategies need to account more fully for intuitive and normative responses that act to balance conflicting interests between stakeholder organizations concerned with plant diseases within the managed and natural environments. Modes of effective engagement between policy makers and stakeholders are explored in the paper, together with an assessment of such engagement in two case studies of contemporary non-indigenous diseases in one food and in one non-food sector. Finally, a model is proposed for greater integration of stakeholders in policy decisions.

“…The globalisation of the live plant trade that is so heavily implicated in these and other outbreaks is arguably the most dramatic (and potentially damaging) change in trade flows to have occurred over the last twenty years (Dehnen-Schmutz et al 2010). Long supply chains are increasingly complex and difficult to monitor, with many different actors taking key decisions at different points.…”
