Responses of plant–pathogen interactions to precipitation: Implications for tropical tree richness in a changing world

2020-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Tropical tree‐species richness is positively correlated with annual precipitation, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Phytopathogens promote tree‐species coexistence by disproportionately afflicting seedlings of locally abundant species, generating a rare species advantage. We consider whether increased plant–pathogen interactions in humid conditions favourable for phytopathogens could drive the precipitation‐rich...
