this is a long shot but I already hate my soil science class and I need to know why conifers (pine trees) don't like to grow in prairie/grassland soils. Thanks eh
 
that's ridiculous, i've been all over the prairies here in alberta and i've seen more than enough coniferous forest.
 
getting your info for school related shit from NS is just about the dumbest thing you could possibly do. Open a textbook or use the more academic areas of the internet.
 
The soils for coniferous trees is much more acidic because the needles are acidic. It also has a different amount of the top bit. Can't remember what that's called at the moment but... Yeah. Maybe check your textbook or wiki as well.
 
grassland soil is usually basic. pine trees tend to grow in more acidic soil. proof: have you ever bit into a pine needle? the taste is tart like citrus.
