P. Ramorum is a microscopic fungus, which causes hazardous effect on oak trees in forests of western states. The reading passage states some methods that have been proposed to protect forest from P. Ramorum. However, the professor finds all of those proposals dubious and refutes them all by presenting several counter reasons.
To begin with, the author mentions that it has been discovered that P. Ramorum spores spread by human through shoes and bicycle tires. Therefore according to the author, some preventive measure should be taken like hikers should wash their shoes and bike scrubbers should be installed on bicycle trails. In the contrary, the lecturer thinks that this proposal might not be successful in preventing spores from spreading as rainfall causes long distance spread of P. Ramorum through water streams which is tough to control.
Secondly, the author claims that, fungicidal can play a prominent role in protecting oak trees, as this chemical can stimulate oak trees' natural defense system. Nevertheless, the professor casts his doubt on the success of this method, arguing that fungicidal need to be pushed directly into tree trunks and it has only short term effect. Therefore, it has to be applied again and again on numerous oak trees in the forest, which would be expensive and laborious job.
Finally, the author expresses that, clear-cutting method can be applied to prevent spreading of disease by cutting and burning diseased oaks with vegetation surrounding those oaks. The professor strongly challenges this proposal as it causes loss of rare species of plant though those might be healthy. According to her, this would cause greater ecological imbalance than current situation.
