The reading and lecture are both discuss a policy which allows the forests burn without deliberately suppressed. While the writer states that let it burn policy should replace due to its irrevocable damages, the lecture casts doubt on the claims made in the article. She believes that forest fires are natural parts of ecosystems which their roles are not destructive.
First of all, the author claims that during the forest fires like what happened in Yellowstone, many of trees and vegetation damaged tremendously. Many of them charred, and small plants incinerated. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He asserts that after the fire, plants became diverse in Yellowstone park. Since it turned into the area without trees, those small plants which need open, unshadowed space found the opportunities to grow.
The next point brought up is that forest fires affect wildlife as well as vegetation. The writer declares that during the fire, large animals were seen fleeing while the small species were unable to escape and perished. However, the professor says that population was recovered in the Yellowstone after the fire. She elaborates on this by mentioning that new vegetation cover attracts new species such as rabbits and hares which they invite their predators as well.
Finally, the author discusses that fires compromised the local economy which relays on park's visitors. He argues that a decline in the numbers of tourists affects negatively on the local businesses. The lecturer, on the other hand, feels that visitors come back after the fire since this phenomenon is nearly unusual.
