Editing Pinus clausa (section)

==Uses==
''Pinus clausa'' woodlands are an important part of the Florida scrub ecosystem, and provide habitat for songbirds, birds of prey, grey and flying squirrels, as well as the endangered [[Neoseps|Florida sand skink]] and [[Florida scrub jay]], among other species. It is one of the few canopy trees able to grow in arid, sandy, and hot locations with minimal care.<ref name=":0" />

While the dense branching and crooked trunks makes this tree unsuitable for [[wood]] production, it is often used for [[Pulp (paper)|wood pulp]].<ref name=":1" />
