Disease data of Triphragmium ulmariae on Filipendula ulmaria in the Skeppsvik archipelago

The data set provides information on the incidence, prevalence and
severity of a rust fungus Triphragmium ulmariae occurring in populations
of the herbaceous perennial Filipendula ulmaria growing on a range of
islands in the Skeppsvik archipelago, northern Sweden. These data,
together with information on the size of individual host populations, has
been used to monitor the impact of the disease on host population growth
rates and temporal and spatial dynamics in a natural plant pathogen - host
metapopulation system. See Zhan, J., Ericson, L., González-Jiménez, J.
& Burdon, J.J. (202*). Disease affecting host population growth
rates in a natural wild plant-pathogen association over a 30-year period.
