Review: Host-pathogen dynamics of seagrass diseases under future global change

Conceptual design for how seagrass resilience and disease occurrence may shift under future global change scenarios. We limited our environmental variables to those most likely to cause increased vulnerability to seagrass ecosystems in the near future (temperature, salinity, and nutrient and sediment run-off). However, there will be more environmental stresses, including multiple stressor scenarios, which could elicit variable responses across pathogen and host species. This conceptual design was made with images courtesy of the Integration and Application Network, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (ian.umces.edu/imagelibrary/).117
