integrated task: salvage logging benefits

The reading states that salvage logging is beneficial as it removes dead trees from affected areas and provide wood for lumber, plywood and other wood products and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor refutes each of the author's reasons.

First, the reading states that after fire, the forest are choked with dead trees and this helps to decompose dead trees. However, the professor refutes this point by stating that those choked forests need to be clean and this hampers the growth of new tress. He also states that as the forest burn out, new plants lack of nutrient.

Second, the reading claims that dead trees do more than just take up space as decaying wood is a suitable for insects which damage live and healthy tress. But, the professor contends that insects like brittle and others does not cause major damage as they help to build a natural ecosystem. To support his claim, she states that those insects are living those environments for hundreds of years.

Third, the reading avers that salvage logging has economic benefits as it provides wood for industries and creates job for local residents. However, the lecture opposes this stating that this is not a long term solution. To solve this kind of problems often authorities use helicopter and other expensive means. He also states that often they hire experienced outsider to do the job. Thus locals do not get the jobs.
