Question

Are korean pine trees allelopathic?

Answer 1

Allelopathy: refers to the beneficial or harmful effects of one plant on another plant, both crop and weed species, by the release of chemicals from plant parts by leaching, root exudation, volatilization, residue decomposition and other processes in both natural and agricultural systems.

Answer 2

hahahahaha

Answer 3

demogirl has the definition right but hasn't answered the question. Most pines are allelopathic ... they lay down a carpet of old pine needles over time that decay slowly and they they release chemicals that prevent most other plants from germinating under them (not to mention their own seeds .. but this helps space the plants and avoid competition).
