    Thanks for the clarification Alyssa.  I came across the cite earlier
    in the year (via Cornell I think?) and I tend to store the bottom
    line.  Apologies.<br>
    <br>
    I think your work has implications for trails that are in lightly
    infested areas here in the Mid Atlantic. Not sure anything can be
    done with the 500 acre monocultures that seem to be popping up
    though.<br>
    <br>
    I think your work may help explain the recent explosion we have seen
    on our trails.  About 5 years ago we had a massive gypsy moth
    problem that killed the oaks on ridges (removing leaf much and acid)
    .  Since the tread is bare soil and now well exposed to sun, the
    stiltgrass just started running.<br>
    <br>
    Could be it is important to get the trails mulched when such events
    occur.  Of course, who pays and gets it done is the $20,000
    question.<br>

            to be effective at smothering stiltgrass, but this must be
            repeated annually. Mulching with wood chips is also

                                    Subject: Stilt grass question<o:p></o:p></p>
                                  <p> <o:p></o:p></p>
                                  <p>Hi Marc, <o:p></o:p></p>
                                  <p>Tom (Crone) and I were walking
                                    around the back end of Greenbelt
                                    Park today. He was checking on some
                                    multiflora rose he'd cut earlier as
                                    well stilt grass he cut. But I
                                    noticed something I hadn't before.
                                    There were large swathes of stilt
                                    grass that had bare patches within
                                    those areas. The common denominator
                                    was Holly tree leaf shed. We started
                                    searching elsewhere and found the
                                    same correlation. The stilt grass
                                    totally avoided wherever the dropped
                                    holly leaves landed. Have you seen
                                    this before, or know if there's a
                                    specific chemical in the leaf that
                                    inhibits or kills the grass? Or some
                                    other symbiotic relationship
                                    creating the inhibition? I'm really
                                    curious to know. As we were driving
                                    out of the park, I started looking
                                    at the mountain laurel and what I
                                    saw didn't seem to be surrounded by
                                    stilt grass either.<o:p></o:p></p>
                                  <p> <o:p></o:p></p>
                                  <p>thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
