Hi,


Yes as far as I know the pine tree changes the acidity of the soil and by that prevents many other palnts to grow next to it.   However several other plants can survive it and grow next to a pine tree.  The radius of effect depends on the pine tree size the bigger it is the bigger the radius of effect is (rough estimate: 2 meters for a big / old tree).
Best regards,

Yes, OronD is correct that pine trees do change the acidity of the soil, but as mentioned ferns and other plants do fine. 

 I believe many people think pine trees cause the dark, barren forest floors; common to second generation forest that are clear cut. However, this is not the case.  It's the clear cutting and the subsequent uniform growth of the trees which prevents enough light from reaching the forest floor. The light amount in this case is the greater limiting factor.
