In 1995 a microscopic fungus called phytophthora ramorum, or P. ramorum, was first detected in the forests of the western United States. P. ramorum infects trees and causes particularly serious damage in oak trees: in many infected oaks, leaves wither rap

The author talks about the protection of forests from infections of various fungus and provides several methods. But the professor of lecture disagrees with the author and gives the counterpart analysis about each method and stated that those methods have serious limitations.

First of all, the reading states that removing spores would help to stop spreading the infection. And it can be done by encouraging hikers to use washed shoes and new bike instruments. But the lecture contends this point by saying that making human-assisted work will not affect to prevent this. Because human-created spores are washed by rainfall and carry long away from this. So, washing shoes and using new equipment is not be a solution.

Secondly, the passage posits that using a few fungicidal chemicals can help to protect the oak trees which galvanize their defensive power. On the contrary, the professor refutes this possibility because using chemicals can be a solution for a short time. And it can be useful for direct infection not for the whole forest. Considering a small garden or park it can be easy but for the forest, it will be time consuming and expensive.

Lastly, the author avers that clear-cutting practice will be a method for protecting the infection. Because it will prevent the spreading of infection from infected areas to healthy areas. Again the lecture also rebuts this by stating that it can be a bad choice. Many plans may not available everyplace. If clear-cutting practice will be done this place, these plants will not available anymore. Not only this but also it could destroy many healthy plants in an area.

Considering all of these reasons the author said that those methods may have some limitations.
