What about spruce needles? Most of the discussion has surrounded pine needles, and now oak leaves. I agree that most decaying matter has little impact on soil pH. But I have copious quantities of moss growing around my spruce trees - even where the soil is so dry, cracks form (ie, minimal moisture accumulation). Is the moss growth more a reflection of my high clay content?
Another interesting observation, areas that have high moss content seem to be perfect for invasive creeping weeds - spent many hours pulling (I don't like chemicals). Could this be from the pH of the moss micro-environment, or the mosture contained within the moss that allows the seeds to germinate?

I was wondering if anyone knew if the comments you always hear about oak leaves acidifying the soil is true or if it's similar to pine needles in that it depends on what kind of soil the tree is growing in.
