Every year, forest fires and severe storms cause a great deal of damage to forests in the northwestern United States. One way of dealing with the aftermath of these disasters is called salvage logging, which is the practice of removing dead trees from affected areas and using the wood for lumber, plywood, and other wood products. There are several reasons why salvage logging is beneficial both to a damaged forest and to the economy.
First, after a devastating fire, forests are choked with dead trees. If the trees are not removed, they will take years to decompose; in the meantime, no new trees can grow in the cramped spaces. Salvage logging, however, removes the remains of dead trees and makes room for fresh growth immediately, which is likely to help forest areas recover from the disaster.
Also, dead trees do more than just take up space. Decaying wood is a highly suitable habitat for insects such as the spruce bark beetle, which in large numbers can damage live, healthy spruce trees. So by removing rotting wood, salvage logging helps minimize the dangers of insect infestation, thus contributing to the health of the forest.
Third and last, salvage logging has economic benefits. Many industries depend upon the forests for their production, and because of this a fire can have a very harmful effect on the economy. Often, however, the trees that have been damaged by natural disasters still can provide much wood that is usable by industries. Furthermore, salvage logging requires more workers than traditional logging operations do, and so it helps create additional jobs for local residents.
The article and the lecture are both about salvage logging. The author of the reading feels that salvage logging is good for the forest for many reasons. The lecturer challengers the claims maid by the author. She thinks that salvage logging is not good for the future of the forest.
First of all, the author argues dead trees should take away to make enough room to grow new trees. The article notes that it helps forest to recover from the disaster soon. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that natural decomposition is good for the forest. Furthermore he says natural decomposition helps the soil to get more neutritions.
Secondly, the author suggest that dead trees are helps insects to grow up faster. The article notes that this insects might be harmfull for that forest trees. The lecturer rebuts this argument. She suggest that insects are normally live in forest. Moreover she say that ny salvage logging it removes insect which is use full for forest.
Finally, the author states that salvage logging helps people to have more job oppotunities. In contrast, the lecturers position is that salvage logging will create only tempory jobs. He notes that moreover salvage logging need new technology equpments such as helicopers which will cost more.
