What do humans use loblolly pines for?
"Pinus taeda" is the Latin binomial designation for the southern yellow pine, commonly known as the loblolly pine. As the second most common tree species in the United States, it is highly regarded as the most commercially important tree in the Southeastern United States.
Found from central Texas east to Florida, and north to Delaware and southern New Jersey, the natural loblolly pine stands- as well as managed plantations- are habitat for a wide variety of game and non-game wildlife. This includes white-tailed deer, quail, doves, rabbits, fox and gray squirrels, wild turkeys, pine warblers, Bachman's warblers, the brown-headed nuthatches, and the red-cockaded woodpeckers. As a favorite roosting spot for many birds, they also provide nesting sites for bald eagles and ospreys.
Loblolly pines are often used as noise barriers, for shade trees, and for wind protection in the urban environment. They are also used for soil stabilization to control surface erosion and gullying, due to their rapid growth and litter production.
While used in the construction industry for structural framing (trusses, joists, rafters, and studs), it is also used in high-traffic applications such as marinas, decks, boardwalks, and patios.
