Climate change is triggering similar effects on the incidence and severity of disease for crops in agriculture and wild plants in natural communities. The complexity of natural ecosystems, however, generates a complex array of interactions between wild plants and pathogens in marked contrast to those generated in the structural and species simplicity of most agricultural crops. Understanding the different impacts of climate change on agricultural and natural ecosystems requires accounting for the specific interactions between an individual pathogen and its host(s) and their subsequent effects on the interplay between the host and other species in the community. Ultimately, progress will require looking past short-term fluctuations to multiyear trends to understand the nature and extent of plant and pathogen evolutionary adaptation and determine the fate of plants under future climate change.

气候变化正在对自然界中农业作物和野生植物的农作物的发病率和严重程度产生类似的影响。然而，自然生态系统的复杂性在野生植物和病原体之间产生了一系列复杂的相互作用，这与大多数农作物的结构和物种简单性所产生的相互作用形成了鲜明的对比。要了解气候变化对农业和自然生态系统的不同影响，需要考虑单个病原体与其寄主之间的具体相互作用以及它们对寄主与社区其他物种之间相互作用的后续影响。最终，
