Abstract
A native of North America, black cherry (Prunus serotina) has grown in Europe and spread continuously. The spread of P. serotina in Europe ranges from the Netherlands through the North German Plain to Poland. In Brandenburg, it is now spread over an area of approximately 30,000 hectares. The area infiltration of black cherry in forest ecosystems impedes the natural and artificial regeneration of native tree species and affect biodiversity. An alternative to these methods could include the application of biological processes. This paper is about attempts to use the Violet cartilage fungus (Chondrostereum purpureum) in forests of the northeast German lowlands.
