Abstract: Temperate black cherry forests may owe their diversity in part to the presence of pathogenic fungi. Black cherry seedlings do not tend to survive beneath parent trees, probably because of the presence of fungi on the roots of their parents. Seedlings survive, however, when dispersed some distance away from their parents. Other tree species do become established beneath mature black cherry trees, promoting diversity.
