Round 1

Page 1 row 27: Monilinia laxa (Aderh. & Ruhland) Honey and Monilinia fructigena (Pers.) Honey
Page 1 row 29: Prunus avium L.
Page 3 row 114, 115: "on which Monilinia conidiophores and conidia were seen and/or sporulated" What do you mean with this? If fungus produces conidia it means it sporulates so you can delete "and/or sporulated"

Reviewer 2 Report
This study is aimed to investigate the relationship between cherry brown rot and weather conditions in the Jerte Valley in a long term (6 years) study. The study is designed in an approriate way and contains valuable and new scientific information on brown rot epidemiology. However, there are some points that need to be revised. The study can be suitable for publication after suitable revisions.
