Was prescribed fire used in that restoration effort?

Is loblolly pine a savanna tree species? I understand it will act like a longleaf or shortleaf pine, but was it historically part of savanna ecosystems? I learned that the original range of loblolly was restricted to following stream banks due to fire intolerance.

However this opens a can of worms, that I love. In the modern south we do loblolly plantations. How do we use what we have to most effectively bring back pine savannas? I suppose many sites should be transformed into this in order to cause the least amount of disturbance and not totally restart the stand.

Great video and great food for thought.
