As a component and regulator in forest ecosystem, plant pathogens play an important role in forest dynamics. Infection by plant pathogens often results in increased mortality of seedlings and adult plants, and in lower fecundity or sterility, and influences the competition for nutrients, which can induce changes in community structure and number of species and individuals. Plant pathogens can infect the seeds of predispersal and postdispersal, and those in soil seed banks and seedlings germi nated from seed bank, thus decrease their survival rate, contributing to pattern of the seeds disper sal, regeneration and recruitment of the seedlings in forest . In natural forest, pioneer tree species are more susceptible to plant pathogens than climax species. Plant community in early succession stage is susceptible to plant pathogens compared to climax community. Plant pathogens have been found to operate mainly in a host densitydependent manner in forest dynamics. So it is important to study the
