In the reading passage, the author claims that three hypothesis may account for the overall decline of the yellow cedar. However, the following listening material entirely challenged the statement made by the writer. The speaker contends that none of them are adequate.
To begin with, the passage insists that the insect parasites from cedar bark beetle leads to the decline of yellow cedar. Because this kind of beetle killed cedars with its larvae eat the wood. The speaker, however argues that the beetle cannot be the fundamental cause. Because the beetle can only attack damaged or sick cedars, which are probably died anyway. Instead, those healthy cedars are more resistant to insect infestation. Their bark and leaves contained certain chemical substance that are poisonous to insects, make them impossible to be attacked by the beetle.
Furthermore, the author of the reading claims bears may contribute to the decline too, since bears have a keen on sugar which is abundant in the bark of yellow cedars. As a result, the bears will claw at cedars and weaken them and eventually cause the decline. In contrast, the professor suggests that bears are not responsible for the overall population decline, for decline occurred both in mainland and island. The point is that there are no bears in the island but cedars there still declined.
Finally, the writer displays that the climate changes may be to blame. Because those climate changes could influence the cedars’ root system, making the roots grow in winter and suffer a frost damage. This may undermined the health of the cedars and eventually killed them. Nevertheless, the lecture indicates that this is not the main reason for the decline. According to the listening material, there are more cedars died in lower elevation where is warmer, than in higher elevation where is colder. If the passage is right, there should be more cedars died in higher elevation which is not the fact. So, as the lecturer said, climate changes may make them more sensitive but cannot kill them.
