a Map of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (SEKI) and the long-term monitoring plots. Includes plots with white pine blister rust infections in the first survey (purple triangles), plots with new infections in the second survey (red triangles), and plots that remained uninfected (black circles). Green shades on the map denote ranges of white pine hosts and stars illustrate plots with the presence of alternate hosts (Ribes spp.). b Mean annual vapor pressure deficit (VPD) between 1975 to 2016; blue dashed lines denote the time period of the first and second survey. c Total annual precipitation (blue bars; high precip. = light blue, low precip. = dark blue) across all plots. Drought years 2007 and 2012–2015 highlighted in gray rectangles. d Mean annual maximum (red line) and minimum (blue line) temperatures; dashed horizontal lines show the mean weather value across all years.
