n 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 writing both discuss Toreyya Taxofa, an evergreen tree commonly found in Florida. In the set of materials, the writer strongly postulates that the prevention of Torreya from undergoing extinction is critical and
provides three ways to endorse its idea. On the other hand, the professor states
that there is no way which can provide a satisfactory solution, therefore, these remedies are unsuccessful. and gainsays each of the arguments mentioned in the reading.
First and foremost, the passage begins by asserting
that scientists are trying to revive the Toreyya population by seedling them in the microclimate of Northern Florida which provides damp and cool weather that is ideal for the growth of trees. Nonetheless, the lecture rebuts this claim by stating that small areas where microclimate will be produced are strongly influenced by the temperature of larger areas that would be warmer because of global warming and the drier climate of the overall region and hence not favorable for planting seeds.
Next, the professor in the lecture further points on by exemplifying with another tree species, Black Locust that was grown for experiment purpose in further North of Florida too, but that tree spread so quickly that it killed the many other species which are native to the land. Therefore, planting those trees endangers the other plant species. These claims refute the writer’s implication that growing the Torreya plant to a different location, the further north of Florida will resolve the problem as it will provide the optimum conditions for plant spread. But this experiment resulted in unpredictable consequences.
Ultimately, the article wraps his arguments by declaring that if seeds and saplings moved under well-monitored laboratory conditions, scientists would be able to enhance the survival rate of the plant successfully. The speaker in the listening rebuts this point by insisting that the population of plants can be preserved in lab conditions only if the plants are resistant to disease which is only possible if they are not genetically diverse but also large in number. Unfortunately, it's hard to keep them safe from the disease for the long term especially when they are not abundant too.
