In the 1950s Torreya Taxifoha, a type of evergreen tree once very common in the state of Florida, started to die out. No one is sure exactly what caused the decline, but chances are good that if nothing is done, Torreya will soon become extinct. Experts are considering three ways to address the decline of Torreya.
The first option is to reestablish Torreya in the same location in which it thrived for thousands of years. Torreya used to be found in abundance in the northern part of Florida, which has a specific microclimate. A microclimate exists when weather conditions inside a relatively small area differ from the region of which that area is a part. Northern Florida's microclimate is very favorable to Torreya's growth. This microclimate is wetter and cooler than the surrounding region's relatively dry, warm climate. Scientists have been working to plant Torreya seeds in the coolest, dampest areas of the microclimate.
The second option is to move Torreya to an entirely different location, far from its Florida microclimate. Torreya seeds and saplings have been successfully planted and grown in forests further north, where the temperature is significantly cooler. Some scientists believe that Torreya probably thrived in areas much further north in the distant past, so by relocating it now, in a process known as assisted migration, humans would simply be helping Torreya return to an environment that is more suited to its survival.
The third option is to preserve Torreya in research centers. Seeds and saplings can be moved from the wild and preserved in a closely monitored environment where it will be easier for scientists both to protect the species and conduct research on Torreya. This research can then be used to ensure the continued survival of the species.
The reading is on to save Torreya tree from the brink of the extinction. It provides three supporting ideas in order to buttress its position. However, the professor says, these strategies are not quite effective to protect Torreya. She refutes each of the written claim.
First, the passage asserts that it is possible to protect Torreya by reestablishing to its original location. But, the lecturer denies this claim and she offers the possible reestablishment will not effective. As the global climate is changing rapidly, so the high temperature, dry area and coolest season will affected very much on Torreyas survival..
Second, the reading states that by moving the Torreya to different location will enable to protect it. The professor refutes this proposition. She explains, it will rather causes unpredictable outcomes. And she delineates it by giving one example, where she says, when Black Locas tree were moved to north, it killed many native plants and animals. So, relocation of Torreya will become subversive for the native environment.
Third, the passage claims that the possible way to preserve Torreya in a research center. However, the point is quite problematic with the lecturer explanations. She describes, the research center has not have enough capacity to hold these diverse tree. And also, Torreya will not able to resist the disease.
