Plant identity, not warming, controls leaf fungal disease risk

A long-running climate experiment in an alpine meadow found that which plant species a fungus lives on matters far more than warming or rainfall changes in determining whether that fungus is a potential pathogen. This suggests that as climate change shifts which plants dominate alpine landscapes, that shift (not direct heat or drought stress on fungi) will drive future plant disease risk.
