Declining population of yellow cedar species.
The author mentions three hypothesis advanced by scientists in order to explain the decline in the yellow cedar population. However, the lecture cast doubt on hypothesis put forward by author and doesn’t consider it adequate to explain the decreasing population.
Firstly, the author asserts that certain insects mainly, the Cedar bark beetle feed on the bark of tree during its larval stages, eventually killing the tree. But, the lecturer doesn't agree with this point and states that yellow cedar trees are mostly resistant to insect attacks as their bark release chemicals to evade the insects. Hence, it is unlikely that insects have any role in killing them.
Second, the author points out that brown bears claw on cedar bark in order to obtain wood that is rich in sugar. However, the lecturer mentions that bears are only present at mainland, and not on islands, but population of cedar is reducing at islands as well. This indicates that bears are not responsible a factor for decline in tree population.
Finally, the author puts forward an argument that due to climatic changes, the root system of yellow cedar has become susceptible to frost damage. But, the lecturer refutes this point and states that lower elevation and less cold areas have witnessed more damaging trees as compared to the higher elevation areas, hence debunking the claim of third hypothesis.
