Every year, forest fires and severe stormscause a great deal of damage to forests in the northwestern United States. One way of dealing with the aftermath of these disasters is called salvage logging, which is the practice of removing dead trees from affected areas and using the wood for lumber, plywood,and other wood products. There are several reasons why salvage logging is beneficial both to a damaged forest and to the economy. First, after a devastating fire, forests are choked with dead trees. If the trees are not removed, they will take years to decompose; in the meantime, no new treescan grow in the cramped spaces. Salvage logging, however, removes the remains of dead trees and makes room for fresh growth immediately, which i s likely to help forest areas recover from the disaster. Also, dead trees do more than just take up space. Decaying wood is a highly suitable habitat for insects such as the spruce bark beetle, which in large numbers can damage live, healthy spruce trees. So by removing rotting wood, salvage logging helps minimize the dangers of insect infestation, thus contributing to the health of the forest. Third and last, salvage logging has economic benefits. Many industries depend upon the forests for their production, and because of this a fire can have a very harmful effect on the economy. Often, however, the trees that have been damaged by natural disasters still can provide much wood that is usable by industries. Furthermore, salvage logging requires more workers than traditional logging operations do, and so it helps create additional jobs for local residents.
In this set of material, the reading and the lecture both discus whether or not the salvage logging," removing dead tree after forest fire take place" are helpful to the forest in the future and to the economy of the country. While the reading states that salvage logging is beneficial economically and locally to the forest. However, the lecture refutes this, by saying that the result is not helpful for long term and cause environmental damage and opposes every reasons stated by the writer.
First and foremost, the reading claims that if the dead trees not removed, the will definitely take a long interval to decompose, leaving no area to growth of new trees. The passage mention that salvage logging will provide an area to immediate growth of new trees. However, the lecture argues that the decomposition of the tree not create a bad condition, in contrast, it will enrich the soil and will be suitable for future growth.
Secondly, the reading makes the argument that decay wood will be a suitable home for harmful insects like spruce bark beetle which harms and kills spruce trees. On the other hand, the lecture counters this pint by saying that the enormous increase in the number of the insects are not harmful. According to the professor, the beetles live for more than 100 years without cause any damage or destroy the tress. Besides, the dead tree area good inhabitat for birds and other insects which contribute to the healthy of the region.
Lastly, the salvage logging have economical benefit also. The company depend on the wood for their industries and also the process of removing the dead trees will indeed needs more workers. Accordingly, the process will open more jobs opportunity. While, the lecture refutes this claim by pointing out that the economical benefrt for salvage logging are small and not last for lnog ter. Furthermore, the professor adds that the process only done by helicopter whci cost a lot offinancial problem and the jobs that provided by salvage logging are only temporary and open for specialist and not provided for local resident. Apparently, the reasons mentioned by the passage are not practical in view poiint of the lecturer.
