These environmental changes have a pronounced effect on plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs; phylum Nematoda), which cause serious crop losses on a global scale. This review aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of current knowledge on how major climate change drivers influence the biology, population dynamics, host\u2013plant interactions, and geographic distribution of PPNs in agricultural systems. Recent studies show that rising temperatures accelerate nematode development, increasing the number of generations within a production season and facilitating the spread of many economically important species toward higher latitudes and elevations. Changes in precipitation patterns and soil moisture directly affect nematode survival, mobility, and infection success, and these effects often vary depending on regional conditions and nematode species. Elevated atmospheric CO2 levels modify plant\u2013nematode interactions by increasing root biomass, altering rhizosphere processes, and regulating plant defense pathways (e.g., jasmonic acid and salicylic acid signaling), which may enhance host susceptibility and infection intensity. Furthermore, extreme climate events can disrupt the natural balance in soil ecosystems, weakening natural antagonist\u2013nematode relationships. However, responses of PPNs to climate change are not uniform, and contrasting findings across studies indicate that these responses are strongly shaped by species-specific traits and environmental variability. In addition, future research should focus on long-term and multi-factorial field studies to better capture the combined effects of climate drivers. Overall, climate change is expected to increase PPN prevalence and drive shifts in their geographic distribution, highlighting the need for climate-sensitive and regionally adapted nematode management strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens15040425","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,14]],"date-time":"2026-04-14T15:47:02Z","timestamp":1776181622000},"page":"425","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Climate Change Impacts on Plant-Parasitic Nematodes in Agroecosystems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9201-5725","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Refik","family":"Bozbu\u011fa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Eskisehir 26160, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-3052-4457","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Furkan","family":"Ula\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Technologies, Sivas University of Science and Technology, Sivas 58010, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00d6zlem","family":"Urtekin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Eskisehir 26160, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Aasim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Precision Agriculture and Agricultural Robotics, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Technologies, Sivas University of Science and Technology, Sivas 58010, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mustafa","family":"\u0130mren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University, Bolu 14030, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1299-5733","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachid","family":"Lahlali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Phytopathology Unit, Department of Plant Protection, Ecole Nationale d\u2019Agriculture de Mekn\u00e8s, Km10, Rte Haj Kaddour, BP S\/40, Menkes 50001, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5381-7039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Amjad","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Pathology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad 38040, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9679-8381","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fouad","family":"Mokrini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nematology Laboratory, Biotechnology Research Unit, National Institute of Agricultural Research, INRA-Rabat, Avenue Ennasr, BP 415 Rabat Principale, Rabat 10090, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3172-0452","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdelfattah","family":"Dababat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), Ankara 06170, T\u00fcrkiye"},{"name":"School of Agriculture, The University of Jordan, Amman 11942, Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"173359","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2024.173359","article-title":"Greenhouse gases emissions and global climate change: Examining the influence of CO2, CH4, and N2O","volume":"935","author":"Filonchyk","year":"2024","journal-title":"Sci.
