Climate change-driven shifts in the global distribution of tomato and potato crops and their associated bacterial pathogens by Muhammad Hubab, Niloufar Lorestani, Rogayah Akram Mheisin Al-Awabdeh, Farzin Shabani

“…This study used four species distribution models (SDMs) to predict current and future habitat suitability for both tomato and potato crops, as well as their associated pathogens, under two shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP4.5 and SSP8.5) and four global circulation models (GCMs).ResultsThe models projected significant poleward shifts in suitable habitats for tomatoes and potatoes, with notable expansions in higher-latitude regions such as Canada, northern Europe, and Russia, and contractions in current major production zones such as the United States (US), Brazil, parts of Africa, and China. For Clavibacter michiganensis, the overlap with tomatoes was substantial, whereas the overlap between potatoes and Ralstonia solanacearum was comparatively smaller.DiscussionOur hypothesis was partially supported by the results. …”
