cheatgrass
The reading and listening both discuss the issue of whether the solutions to the cheatgrass problems are efficient. The reading claims that the cheatgrass population in North America fields could be reduced by using three methods, while the professor suggests that the point above is questionable for the following three reasons.
First, the reading passage contends that encouraging animals that graze on cheatgrass could control the population of cheatgrass. However, the professor argues against this point by saying grazers prefer other native grass species better that cheatgrass. They may eat the native grass first and destroy the native population species. Though the cattle would eat some of the cheatgrass, the population of the native grass would decline. Therefore, the method of using cattle cannot stop the enlargement of cheatgrass population.
Second, even though the reading passage reckons that a controlled fire could inhibit the growth of the cheatgrass population and burn them off, the professor holds a totally different view that the grass could quickly grow back after the fire. Cheatgrass could produce many seeds. When the seeds of the cheatgrass are buried under the surface of the soil, they cannot be harmed by the fire. After the fire, they would quickly germinate and sprout in a few years and grow into new plants. As a result, the option to burn the cheatgrass cannot be an efficient way to control the grass population.
Finally, disagreeing with the viewpoint in the passage that introducing a fungal parasite could help restrain cheatgrass, the professor puts forward that this kind of parasite could only be useful to cheatgrass that are sick or weak. For cheatgrass that are strong, they developed a resistance to the fungus over the year. Consequently, the attempt to use fungus parasite to decline the population of cheatgrass is invalid.
