Plant diseases that limit the kinds of plants in an area

The book "Plant diseases that limit the kinds of plants in an area" offers a comprehensive analysis of the various plant diseases that can affect the growth and diversity of plants in specific regions. It examines the dynamic processes through which living or non-living entities disrupt the normal functions of plants over an extended period. The authors, Ravindra Kumar and Swapnil Kumar Shrivastava, highlight the visible symptoms that contribute to the diagnosis of diseases or disorders and discuss the potential threats posed by epidemics affecting entire plant species. Historical examples such as the American chestnut blight and Dutch elm disease are also addressed to illustrate the impact of plant diseases on biodiversity. This specialized book is aimed at students, researchers, and professionals who seek a deeper understanding of the challenges in the field of plant pathology.
