Essay topics Populations of the yellow cedar a species of tree that is common in northwestern North America have been steadily declining for more than a century now since about 1880 Scientists have advanced several hypotheses to explain this decline

The reading states that there are several reasons that The yellow cedar has been steadily declining for more than a century. On the other hand, the lecturer finds all the reasons mentioned by the reading dubious and refutes them all by specific details.
First, the reading states that the yellow cedar was a decline by insect parasites, specifically the cedar bark beetle. On the contrary, the professor mentioned the fact that the yellow cedar is generally much more resilient than other species, and the bark beetle attacks the tree that is already damaged or is sick.
Furthermore, the author argues that bears sometimes claw at the cedars in other to eat the tree bark, which has high sugar content. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that bears are not the reason for decline because, yellow cedar population exists in all the North America, and there are no bears exist.
Finally, the reading passage holds the view that climate change maybe be the reason for the decline. The patterns of seasonal, as well as day-to-day temperatures, have changed in northwestern America. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that much more trees die when temperatures changed suddenly, and this reason could not be reasonable only for the yellow cedars.
