TPO-14 - Integrated Writing Task Every year, forest fires and severe stormscause a great deal of damage to forests in the northwestern United States. One way of dealing with the aftermath of these disasters is called salvage logging, which is the practice

The article the benefits of salvage logging environmentally and economically and provides three reasons of supports. Conversely, the professor states that salvage logging has serious drwabacks on forest and economic, and she refutes each of the author's reasons.

First, the reading avers that salvage logging create room for fresh tree growth by removing the remains of dead trees. The professor opposes this point by stating that cleaning up the forest would not necessary benefit the grwoth of trees. Decompose materials actually enrich soil with so many nutrients. So, if it would have been removed by salvage logging, the soil would lack important nutrients that necessary for trees growth.

Second, the article claims that salvage logging helps minimize the dangers of insect infestation, such as the spruce bark beetle, by removing rotting wood and consequently,improving the health of the forest. The professor, on the other hand, states that this point is true, not not all insects are harmful. She adds that spruce bark beetle, that have lived for 100 years in the forst, does not cause a damage, moreover, birds need insects. As a result, salvage logging would be more harmful than insects.

Third, the reading posits that slavage logging is useful for industries as supplying them with woods, In addition to creating jobs opportunities. However, The professor refutes this point by explaining these economic resukts, that comes from slavage logging, are temporary and do not lasting for long period. She explains that during the process of extinguishing the fires in forests, helicopters, vehicles would use in that process, therefore, there will be a huge expenses. Also, since slavage logging companies are only hiring ousiders and locals, there are no benefits for people. She also adds that these jobs are temporary and not permenant.
