The author states the methods of protecting the forest trees oaks from the spread of dangerous P. ramorum fungus. As opposed to, the lecturer who counter - argues that viewpoint trying to prove these three methods do not seem convincing.
First and foremost, the writer mentions that P. ramorum spores should be stopped spreading from hikers or bicycle trails, suggesting that these small spores can be eliminated by encouraging hikers to wash their shoes.On the contrary, the professor cannot disagree more, reasoning that cleaning shoes is not a practical solution. Apart from that, the spores can spread quickly from water streams over a long distance.
The second argument the author gives is that there are chemicals that can be used to protect the oak trees. Therefore, these chemicals stimulate natural defense against the fungus. However, the lecturer cannot be more outraged, explaining that the injection may be fine for a few trees, but not for a thousand of them, it is impossible for the forest workers to inject all those oak trees.This idea sounds impractical.
Lastly, on one hand, the passage points out that another way to fight P. ramorum is by clear- cutting the trees that are already infected, but it is also involves cutting and burning the vegetation that are surrounding the oaks.The professor argues that this practice is ok, but it does not guaranty that we are going to save those trees that are very rare. Additionally, in the past, people preserved these trees, by using different ways to protect them from potential risks.Therefore, much of the vegetation that’s healthy and rare, should be protected.
The reading passage and the lecture are both about preventing P.ramorum from damaging oak trees in western United states. The author of the passage feels that there are three methods that can effectively protect the forests. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. she is of the opinion that all three method are not practical and have only limited effects.
To begin with, the author argues that spread of spore of P.ramorum from hiking or bike trails can be prevented by asking hikers to wash shoes and install new bike scrubber. this specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. she claims that P.ramorum spores can spread through other channel too, like the water stream and rainfall. Additionally, she says that when it rains, the spores can be washed into streams by the rainfall and travel long distance along the water line.
Secondly, the author suggests that fungicidal chemicals can provoke oak trees to defend themselves against P.ramorum too, as it is resulted in small-scale experiments. The lectures, however, rebuts this by mentioning that such method will not be practical in real life. she elaborates on this by bringing up the point that for this method to be effective, the chemicals have to be directly injected in to the tree trunk one by one. Thus it is only applicable to a few trees in a city park, not in a large-scale like a forest which has thousands of trees.
Finally, the author posits that clear-cutting can be a useful practice to solve the matter. Moreover, in the passage it is stated that by cutting and burning all the effected oak trees and all the surrounding un-effected vegetations, we can efficiently reduce the infection. In contrast, the lecturer's opinion is that clear-cutting brings about more damage than benefit. He notes that this practice cuts down unhealthy and healthy vegetations at the same time. But there are tree species in western us that are already very rare, they will not be able to grow back quickly. So clear cutting will result in much bigger ecological damage to the forests.
