The reading passage states that Torreya taxifolia can be saved from extinction by three ways. However, the professor says, none of the methods will give satisfactory results and refutes all the reasons given by author.
Firstly, the reading claims that Torreya can be relocated to the northern part of Florida in which it thrived for thousands of years due to a specific micro-climate that is favorable to Torreya. The professor refutes this point by saying, it is unlikely that relocation will benefit the Torreya. She states, the temperature and water content of these areas of microclimate are changing due to change in conditions of larger areas. Thus, they do not have original microclimate condition in whihc Torreya thrived.
Secondly, the article posits that Torreya can be moved to an entirely different location like the forests in the northern area. However, the professor says, relocation to a completely different location can have some unpredictable outcomes. She gives the example of The Black Locust Tree which was relocated to different environment and it spread so fast that it killed several species of plant which were last of their kind.
Thirdly, the reading says that Torreya can be preserved in the research centre in a closely monitored environment. The professor opposes this point by saying, labs cannot sustain a large population of Torreya neccessary for resisting the diseases. She explains, in order for plants to be able to resist a disease, they should have a large, wild and diverse population but the laboratory cannot help sustain that much of trees.
