Plant Functional Traits or Microbiomes Associated with Diseases, Pests, Human Activities and Climate Change

Key Points

• The study aims to understand the impact of climate change on plant diseases and the role of plant traits and microbiomes in this process.
• Review of existing literature on climate change effects on plant health
• Analysis of interactions between microbiomes and plant pathogens
• Examination of changes in functional traits of plants in response to climate variables
• Rising CO2 levels and temperatures are linked to increased plant disease prevalence.
• Changes in humidity and salinity affect the dispersal of plant pathogens.
• Drought conditions have been shown to influence plant-microbiome interactions.
