Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific methods proposed in the reading passage.
The reading and the lecture offer two opposing views on the solutions proposed by ecologists about the cheatgrass drawbacks. Whereas the author of the reading suggests that these solutions will be practical for abolishing the cheatgrasses, the lecturer states that they are probably not enough strong to be useful. He casts doubt on the main points made in the reading by providing three reasons.
First, according to the text, the grazers such as cattle or livestock will eat the cheatgrass if they were released to the cheatgrass lands. However, the lecturer disputes that the grazers are not willing to eat cheatgrass. He explains that they may eat other native plants first and then start to eat cheatgrass. In this way, the proposed solution would affect conversely.
Secondly, the other solution is that burning the cheatgrass by fire, and based on the text, due the high flammable feature that they have, it is beneficial to remove them. Nevertheless, the lecturer argues that because some of the cheatgrass's seeds may be berried under the surface of the soil, they can survive from fire. Thereafter, they can spead and reproduce themselves, filling lands. Therefor, fire also cannot be beneficial for extingushing cheatgrass.
Finally, the text asserts that by introducing a fungal prasite, cheatgrass will be prevented from regenerating themselves. On the other hand, the lecturer believes that fungal and cheatgrass were living togather for long period, so cheatgrass now are resisted to fungal's damges. He says that only the weakest cheatgrass cannot survive from the danger of the fungals and the strongest ones can resist.
To recap, the lecturer refuses the three possible solutions proposed for removing cheatgrass. He implies that non of them will be functional for this purpose.
