In these set of materials, the reading provides three hypotheses regarding the reduction of the yellow cedars' population in northwestern North America. On the other hand, the professor says that author's hypotheses are not convincing and refutes each of them by providing reasons.
Initially, the reading claims that the cedar bark beetles are the main cause of this population reduction of yellow cedars because they eat the wood and there have been recorded instances. On the contrary, the professor states that the cedar bark beetles attack the yellow cedars which are already damaged and are going to die any way. He says that healthy yellow cedar are much more resistance to the bark beetles due to the fact that the healthy yellow cedars produce especial toxin against beetles.
Furthermore, the reading mentions that brown bears, that feed on the sweet contained in yellow cedars, lead to the population reduction. In contrast, the professor accounts this notion by saying that there are no brown bears in the Island, but still the population reduction has been observed. He said due to the fact that with or without bears the population redution happens, brown bears are not the main cause of this reduction.
Finally, the reading explains that the population reduction of yellow cedars originates from recent climate change. The author says that since these plants start to reproduce in late winter instead of early spring, the new yellow cedars may be freezed at cold winter nights. Nevertheless, the professor refers to the evidences that more yellow cedars dead in warmer places that cooler places. new
