Consequences of changing rainfall for fungal pathogen-induced mortality in tropical tree seedlings.
Most general circulation models predict that most tropical forests will experience lower and less frequent rainfall in future as a result of climate change, which may reduce the capacity of fungal pathogens to drive density-dependent tree mortality. This is potentially significant because fungal pat...
