TPO 38: integrated writing task
The main topic of the reading passage and the lecture is about approaches to fight against P.ramorum, a special kind of fungus that infects trees and causes serious damages. The author proposes three approaches in order to protect forests from this fungus. However, the lecturer refutes all proposed avenue and believes they are not attainable and practical.
First of all the author refers to the humans' role in dispersing fungus spores. As there are abundant spores of P.ramorum on biking or hiking trail washing the shows and installing new bike scrubbers on bicycle trails would efficiently prevent the spread of spores. The lecturer, on the other hand, believes that human is not the main cause of spreading the spores. She declares that precipitations wash off the spores on a large scale and pour them into the water stream and carry them far distances and this is difficult to control. Hence, the proposed solution by the author would not be helpful.
Secondly, the author mentions using fungicides in order to protect trees. These chemicals enhance the natural defense of trees against fungus. The speaker, however, rebuts this idea by explaining that these chemicals should be directly injected to the trunk of a tree and it is efficient barely for a few months and after that, the injection should be repeated. Therefore, this method would be costly and not practical for thousands of trees on a large scale.
Finally, the reading claims that cutting and burning the diseased trees and surrounding vegetation, is efficient to stop the spread of the fungus. The surrounding vegetation may seemingly be healthy but there is always a possibility that they have been infected by fungus. The author, on the contrary, strongly contradicts this proposal by explaining that in some cases it is reasonable to sacrifice some of the healthy species in order to survive the whole ecosystem but in this case, this method would decimate some healthy rare species of vegetation which do not grow back easily. Therefore this method would impose great ecological damages instead of solving a problem.
