Yellow cedars
The reading passage is about the causes of a decline in the populations of yellow cedar trees in North America but the lecturer refutes the reading's ideas.
First, the reading says bark beetles, a kind of insect, attack the trees and their larvae eat the wood which damages the trees.However, the lecturer says healthy cedars are resistant to insects because they produce a poison that kills the insects and that the insects attack trees are already sick, damaged, or even dead.
Second, according to the reading brown bears claw at the tree bark because it has much sugar which bears want to eat. But the lecture rejects this idea and believes that it happens sometimes that bears attack trees, but it is not the cause because there are not any bears in that area where cedars grow.
Finally, the reading passage says climate change is another cause which destroys yellow cedars because trees always grow at the first of spring, but now because of climate change, they grow at the end of winter, so on cold winter nights that it is possible to freeze the root of trees and kill them. While according to the lecture the most of the trees usually die somewhere in the low elevation where it is warmer than the high elevation so this cause cannot be responsible for killing cedars.
