pros and cons of the "let it burn" policy in the case of Yellowstone park
The reading and the lecture are both about a natural fire that happened in Yellowstone national park in 1988. The author of the article believes that natural forest fires should be put down as soon as possible. The lecturer disputes the claims made in the article. Her position is that such natural fires are not destructive, and even are beneficial for the forest.
According to the reading, trees and plants will suffer a lot during natural fires in forests. The article mentions that in Yellowstone, vegetation and trees had been badly damaged because of the fire in 1988, and many of them were eradicated from the park. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that natural fires are even creative in a forest. Accordingly, she points out that after the fire in Yellowstone, the vegetation and trees became more diverse. Small trees, replaced the tall ones because they had more space to grow. In addition, some plant seeds needed a high level of heat to flourish.
Secondly, the author suggests that the fire had a harmful influence on the park’s wildlife too. In the article, it is stated that although some large animals were able to escape the fire, smaller ones were trapped in the fire. This caused problems in food chain habitat distributions. The lecturer, however, asserts that the animal population is recovered after the fire. She goes on to say that by growing new and small plants, there were new opportunities for smaller animals such as rabbits and hares to reproduce in their habitats. Consequently, their predators’ population were increased as well, so the food chain got stronger than before.
Finally, the author points out that this fire defaced the tourism value of Yellowstone. The author contends that the local economy faced a challenge because the number of tourists declined in that season. In contrast, the speaker’s stance is the local economy and tourism pattern will change if the fire happens every year, which is not. She adds that the low rainfall or strong winds may have intensified the fire in 1988. There has been no fire in the Yellowstone after the summer of 1988, and tourists came back to the area the next year after the fire.
