Many introduced species are having a devastating effect on the cove forest community. Some are mammalian invaders and some are plant invaders. The most deadly species introduction has been the chestnut blight, a parasitic fungus that was accidentally introduced from Asia. Once a dominant canopy tree of our eastern forests, the American chestnut persists today as root sprouts in the forest understory.
