This article discusses a fascinating topic pertaining to decline in yellow cedar and provides three reasons of supports. However, the professor explain that factors the article mentions are not cause of decrease and opposes each of the author's reasons.
First reading passage provides that one reason why the yellow cedar has been declining is owing to insects parasite that bark beetle has. This insect kinds eats wood and eventually lead to decline. In contrary, the professor states that species cannot harm the tree due to the tree itself has poisonous on surface, when insects get in touch with tree it causes to death. Clearly, a disparity exists between the article and the evidence exhibited by the professor. As a result, we can safely assume that bark beetle has no role in declining at all.
Second, the reading pushes forth idea that brown bear who claws the trees to eat, even though it is not primary reason this weaken the tree, which later dies. Nonetheless, the professor contends that there are Mainland, Island at the northwest of America, that are place where there are not much brown bears due to bears have heavily declined at last years therefore they are not responsible for it.
Finally, the reading posits that gradual climate change has effect on declining as well as others. The professor refutes this point by explaining that climate has no proven contribution to this. He mentioned that if it was cause of climate change for example, we should have seen decline of cedar trees at cold region or vice versa hot region.
In summary, while both the reading and the lecture provides interesting information with regard to yellow cedar decline, a significant amount of evidence support that the listening has more legitimate explanation and examples. Therefore, the reading passage fails to justify the claim toward the yellow tree.
