Disease ecology examines how pathogens and parasites spread through and interact with host populations across natural environments. In plant science, this field helps researchers understand how factors like climate, genetic diversity, and habitat structure influence the emergence and transmission of plant diseases within wild and managed populations. These insights are critical for predicting outbreaks, protecting biodiversity, and developing strategies to safeguard forests and ecosystems from pathogen-driven decline.
