TPO 23-integrated
Both the reading and the lecture are contemplating about yellow cedar's decline in population. The author mentions three different hypothesis to explain this decline and the professor refutes all of them.
First, the reading mentions that insect parasites can be the cause of this population decline. However, the lecture contradicts that by saying that healthy cedars are resistant to insect attacks for they have some chemicals in them that kill insects. and if there are some dead trees with cedar bark beetles on them, it's because the tree was already damaged or dead when the beetles attacked them.
Second, the author claims that brown bears may be the reason of the population decline. On the contrary, the lecturer illustrates that there is a population decline happening in all the north western parts of America, including the islands. But there bears don't live on these islands. So population decline is happening with or without the bears and for this reason bears can not be the cause of the decline.
Third, the reading passage states that gradual changes of climate can damage the roots in freezing climate and that can be the reason of this decline. On the other hand, the lecture opposes the hypothesis by saying that more trees are dying in lower elevations, which are warmer, than higher ones. So although cold and freezing climate makes the trees sensitive, it can't be a candidate for the cause of tree's decline.
