In the 1950s Torreya Taxifoha, a type of evergreen tree once very common in the state of Florida, started to die out. No one is sure exactly what caused the decline, but chances are good that if nothing is done, Torreya will soon become extinct. Experts are considering three ways to address the decline of Torreya.

The first option is to reestablish Torreya in the same location in which it thrived for thousands of years. Torreya used to be found in abundance in the northern part of Florida, which has a specific microclimate. A microclimate exists when weather conditions inside a relatively small area differ from the region of which that area is a part. Northern Florida's microclimate is very favorable to Torreya's growth. This microclimate is wetter and cooler than the surrounding region's relatively dry, warm climate. Scientists have been working to plant Torreya seeds in the coolest, dampest areas of the microclimate.

The second option is to move Torreya to an entirely different location, far from its Florida microclimate. Torreya seeds and saplings have been successfully planted and grown in forests further north, where the temperature is significantly cooler. Some scientists believe that Torreya probably thrived in areas much further north in the distant past, so by relocating it now, in a process known as assisted migration, humans would simply be helping Torreya return to an environment that is more suited to its survival.

The third option is to preserve Torreya in research centers. Seeds and saplings can be moved from the wild and preserved in a closely monitored environment where it will be easier for scientists both to protect the species and conduct research on Torreya. This research can then be used to ensure the continued survival of the species.

The reading and lecture both are talking about the decline of torreya. A torreya is very common in the state of florida but different unknown problems causing the distinct of torreya. The reading of this author is giving three possible way to cut the decline of torreya. But the lecturer cast doubt on all the claims made by the author.

Firstly the author mentions that torreya is to reestablish in the northern part of florida which was the place before thousand of years. It has a specific microclimate and it helps to growing torreya because this climate is wetter and colder. But the lecturer refute this claim. She mentions that coolest and dampest are strongly affected the larger region of florida. Also she says that because of global warming, maximum part will be drier and wetland are draining in florida.

Secondly, The author suggests that relocating torreya far from its microclimate. Torreya seeds and saplings have been planted in a cooler region which helps to thrive torreya. But the lecturer disprove this claim. She gives an example and says that long time ago black forest tree is trying to growing into different place but it spread quickly and killed many plants. so migrating different place will be an unpredictable outcome.

Thirdly, The author posits that science centre will be a good option to keep the torreya. It helps to thrive in monitored environment by scientist. However the lecturer rebuts this claim. She mentions that in research centre torreya will have not large capacity and not capable for long time. It's population will not be survived because of another diseases.
