Phenological and epidemiological impacts of climate change on peach production

The paper projects yield losses in peach production under climate change scenarios and evaluates adaptation strategies to maintain national yield.

A metapopulation framework integrating landscape heterogeneity to model an airborne plant pathogen: the case of brown rot of peach in France

The paper develops a metapopulation model integrating landscape factors to predict airborne pathogen spread in peach orchards, identifying high-risk areas along the Rhone Valley.

Benefits and costs of a global cooperative surveillance strategy to control trans-boundary crop pathogens

This study compares country-based and cooperative surveillance strategies for controlling trans-boundary crop pathogens, finding that cooperative strategies are more efficient globally but have uneven cost-benefit distributions.

A climate-driven compartmental model for fungal diseases in fruit orchards: The impacts of climate change on a brown rot-peach system

This study develops a climate-driven compartmental model to simulate brown rot epidemics in peach orchards and predicts climate change impacts on yield loss.

Maximize crop production and environmental sustainability: insights from an ecophysiological model of plant-pest interactions and multi-criteria decision analysis

The paper uses an ecophysiological model and multi-criteria decision analysis to optimize crop management for maximizing production and minimizing environmental impact, identifying scenarios with high fertilization and no pesticide use as optimal.

Modelling interference between vectors of non-persistently transmitted plant viruses to identify effective control strategies

This paper models interactions between aphid vectors of non-persistently transmitted plant viruses to evaluate how agronomic practices affect disease spread.

Evolutionary epidemiology consequences of trait-dependent control of heterogeneous parasites

This study develops a model to explore how trait-dependent parasite control strategies affect disease dynamics and evolution, showing optimal treatment depends on application levels.

Surveillance of airborne plant disease dissemination at continental scale using air mass trajectory analysis and network theory

The paper identifies key regions for stem rust of wheat spread in Europe and the Mediterranean using wind connectivity analysis and network theory.

Shifts in the thermal niche of fruit trees under climate change: the case of peach cultivation inFrance.

This study uses a phenological model to predict how climate change will affect peach cultivation in France, finding divergent impacts on blooming timing and geographic suitability.

An ecophysiological model of plant-pestinteractions: the role of nutrient and wateravailability

The paper develops a mechanistic model linking plant growth and pest population dynamics to show how irrigation and fertilization affect pest populations in complex ways.
