Because of climate change, more and more land that was once used to grow crops or provide food for animals is turning to dry, unusable desert land. There are many proposals about how to stop this process, known as desertification. A number of proposals involve growing trees, because trees can help protect soil and provide many other benefits to fight against desertification. Some scientists have proposed that the best way to grow trees in dry areas in danger of desertification is by using a box-shaped device surrounding the young tree. The device collects water that condenses from vapor in the atmosphere and helps the tree to grow. However, other scientists believe that this device will not be successful in fighting against desertification for the following reasons.
First, at a cost of 25 U S. dollars each, the device would make growing trees a prohibitively expensive process. Meaningful efforts to fight desertification involve growing millions of trees. Some countries most affected by desertification cannot afford to buy devices for millions of trees
Second, plans for fighting desertification involve asking local people to install and maintain the devices. People living in some of the areas most affected by desertification work long days in harsh conditions: sometimes barely managing to provide food for their families. It would be difficult to motivate these people to look after trees that cannot serve as a source of food for them.
Third, the device's ability to collect and conserve water is limited. Each one provides only enough water to keep a small tree alive. Trees that have outgrown the device have to deal with unforgiving environmental conditions on their own. In some places where the devices are being tried, six months can pass without a drop of rain. Once the trees become too big for the device, they may not be able to survive in such a harsh environment.
The article is mainly discussing different proposals to stop desertification and ways to protect trees from harsh climates and some of oppositions on the possibility of success.but lecturer is not covinced by the claims made by the author
To begin with in the article author mainly discussing the ways against desertification like growing trees and best wats to protect it from harsh climate .He also noted thatsome scientists are not beleiving in the success of box devise around the young trees since it is expensive .The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author by expressing the idea of reusing the box device even about twenty times .
Secondly lecturer rebuts the claim made by author about difficulty of local people to ake care of trees by presenting the point of allowing them to take some advantage of the box device by cultivate vegetables and dry branches of the trees as fire woods along with and with some rewards.
Finally lecturer argues that trees roots are long enough to collect water from long distances whereas author isof the opinion that trees cant withstand the harsh climate once it is outgrown the box like device.
