Ecological impacts of non-indigenous invasive fungi as forest pathogens
2009-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Non-indigenous pathogenic fungi increasingly threaten North American tree species. Ecosystems may be fundamentally changed when abundant tree species are functionally eliminated, as occurred with American chestnut (Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh.).
