TPO 14

In this set of materials, the reading passage discusses that the salvage logging approached would be beneficial for both forests and the local economy of those areas. While in the listening the professor casts doubt on what is presented in the text and believes that this method would not be beneficial in the long-term for forest healthy, and also its economic benefits are questionable.

First of all, in the text, it is clearly mentioned that the dead trees remain for years at the surface of forests and limits space for the growth of new plants. In this way, forests recovering from fire take a very long time. However, the professor claims that the process of decomposition of dead trees, adds a lot of valuable nutritional substance to soil that makes the soil richer and more fertile. Therefore, without these dead bodies, forests would face with nutrients shortage in the future.

In addition, the professor disagrees with this idea that because dead trees can provide favorable habit to the growth of harmful insects. She says that the dead body of trees does not just provoke good house to increase harmful insects, they provide a field for birds and useful insects too. Whereby, in the long-term, it can improve forests' health.

Finally, yet importantly, in the text, it is stated that the salvage logging would power the economy of local settlements. The professor subscribes that the economic advantages of this approach is small and does not long lasting. In this method, dead trees should be collected using a helicopter which would be so expensive to use and maintain. Furthermore, conducting this plan can not employ local workers and required outside labors.
