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.
both of the reading and listening discuss whether salvage logging is beneficial both to a damaged forest and to the economy. The reading passage states that this action has positive effect on them based on the its reasons. However, the speaker with bring up some evidence rejects all of them.
Firstly, the reading states that by means collecting dead trees the damaged forest will be clean because it says that the process of decomposing takes a long time. In contrast, the professor says that this action is not necessary. she also states that to grow new trees the soil should be cultivated or fertilized and it needs to extra nourishment. Therefore, the dead trees can be a substance as nourishment for soil in that area.
Secondly, the reading passage states that by cleaning the dead trees the insects and other harmful animals are not able to live on that area, and this help the forest be clean. On the other hand, the professor claims that it is true that this action does not allow harmful insects to be alive while it is necessary that in the forest some useful insects must be existed.
Finally, the reading passage states that gathering dead trees creates a lot of job opportunities for the people due to the number of activities for gathering the dead trees is more than collecting the healthy trees. In contrast, she says that this action does not create remarkable job for the people. What is more, because of using helicopter, the cost will be increased. In addition, this action is temporary not constant. In the end. this action creates job opportunities only for local people and for a few number of them.
