    This lecture from the University of Göttingen’s public lecture series (“Ringvorlesung”) explores how climate change is driving the emergence and spread of new tree diseases. It examines how rising temperatures, drought stress, altered precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events influence pathogen biology, host susceptibility, and pest dynamics. The lecture also discusses case studies, monitoring approaches, and strategies for adapting forest and urban tree management to a rapidly changing climate.

    Keywords: Climate change, tree diseases, forest health, emerging pathogens, adaptation strategies
