The article and the lecture both are discussed about the reasons for the decline of the yellow cedar species plants. The passages state that the scientist provided three advanced hypothesis for the decline of the plants. However, the professor explained that unfortunately we still don't know the exact reason for the decrease in their count and he refutes each of the author's opinions.
First, the article avers that insects might be the reason for the decline because cedar bark beetle and their larva eat the plant trunk. The professor opposes this point by says that most of the plants are resistant to those insects. He illustrated that the plant trees and the leaves are saturated with harmful chemicals and those are not favorable to the insects. In addition to that, the plants are affected by parasites after they become sick so insects are not the primary cause.
Second, the passage climes that brown bear is probably a reason for the decline since it eats and clawing most of the plants. The lecture contended this point by saying although the bears are the one reason, overall it is not the primary cause because of few places no bear population still the plats are struggling to survive. He mentioned that few parts away from the north ilands the land is suitable for their growth and bears but still they are declining.
Third, the reading posits that environmental changes highly impact on the plant growth since it mainly affects the plant root systems. The teacher cast a doubt on this point by saying it is not true because the temperature is frozen at high elevation than the lower parts accordingly the high elevation plants should die but the situation is vice versa.
