TPO 14

Both of the provided material is discussing salvage logging, the process of removing diseased trees after a disaster such as widespread fire or a hurricane. The article states lots of economic and environmental benefits for this practice. Nevertheless, the lecture explains the inevitable drawbacks of this action and refutes each of the author's points.

First, the passage mentions by removing dead trees from the forest, other trees have more resources available to flourish; Like space and necessary nutrients. However, the professor refutes this point by stating that removing the tree corpses does not improve the trees' condition. Actually, after the decomposition of these rotting trees, the soil absorbs the necessary nutrients that are needed to make the plants prosper. So, by removing these minerals, the soil lacks essential components for further growth.

Second, the author uses population growth of harmful insects to provide another benefit of salvage logging. However, the professor believes that by abolishing a habitat of deleterious insects, other useful creatures are deprived of their economy as well. She mentions that these creatures, including birds and not-harmful insects, are helpful for the forests, and killing them will have a long-term negative impact on plants.

Third, the reading describes the financial advantages of this activity, that is more jobs and sufficient wood for industries. The lecturer contends this point by stating that the process of transferring dead trees is more costly due to the usage of high-technology vehicles and helicopters. Also, she mentions the new job opportunities are mostly available to foreign workers, for the insiders lack the skill required for this task.
