environment by shielding the soil from the direct sunlight As these plants spread, the

ground surface becomes cooler and moisture than it was originally Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been changed The new surface conditions favor the sprouting of

shrubs As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also build up the soil in the area In addition, they attract animals that also enhance the soil Pine seedlings soon take hold and as they grow, they in turn shade out the shrubs They are not able to shade out oak and hickory seedlings, however, they have found the forest floor suitable These seedlings grow into large trees that eventually shade out the pines ( hickory (n): cây hồ đ ào, oak (n): c ây sồi, shrub (n): cây bụi )
