Both the reading and the lecture discuss whether the natural forest fire caused such the damage in Yellowstone. However, the professor strongly disagrees with the reading passage.
First of all, the reading passage mentions that Yellowstone fires caused tremendous damage to the trees and other vegetation. Yet, the lecturer severely challenges the theory by arguing that the fire also gave an opportunity for plants to be more diverse. Furthermore, she states that the large trees would be replaced by the smaller trees after the fires. Also, some seeds would be stimulated to grow due to the high level of heat. Hence, the first theory is not convincing.
Secondly, the passage mentions that the fires also affected wildlife in the park. Still, the lecturer strongly disagrees with this theory by arguing that the fire also create chances for animals to survive. Moreover, she states that smaller plants could be the ideal habitat for the smaller animals. Besides, she said that once the population of the smaller animals increased, the predators would also increase. As a result, the food train would be stronger.
Last but not least, the article mentions that the fires compromised the value of the park as a tourist attraction. Actually, the lecturer mentions that the fires occur every year. Also, the rainfall will help the land in the park to recover. Thus, the tourists can come back to the park in next year. That is to say, the value of the park as a tourist attraction will not be affected by the fires.
In conclusion, the professor argues against each theory in the reading. That is to say, she maintains that the natural forest fire in Yellowstone was not only the damage but also part of the normal ecosystem circle.
