TPO-14 - Integrated Writing Task
Every year, forest fires and severe stormscause a great deal of damage to forests in the northwestern United States. One way of dealing with the aftermath of these disasters is called salvage logging, which is the practice of removing dead trees from affected areas and using the wood for lumber, plywood,and other wood products. There are several reasons why salvage logging is beneficial both to a damaged forest and to the economy.
First, after a devastating fire, forests are choked with dead trees. If the trees are not removed, they will take years to decompose; in the meantime, no new trees can grow in the cramped spaces. Salvage logging, however, removes the remains of dead trees and makes room for fresh growth immediately, which i s likely to help forest areas recover from the disaster. Also, dead trees do more than the take up space. Decaying wood is a highly suitable habitat for insects such as the spruce bark beetle, which in large numbers can damage live, healthy spruce trees. So by removing rotting wood, salvage logging helps minimize the dangers of insect infestation, thus contributing to the health of the forest.
Third and last, salvage logging has economic benefits. Many industries depend upon the forests for their production, and because of this discusses a fire can have a very harmful effect on the economy. Often, however, the trees that have been damaged by natural disasters still can provide much wood that is usable by industries. Furthermore, salvage logging requires more workers than traditional logging operations do, and so it helps create additional jobs for local residents.
The author discusses how salvage logging beneficial for forest after a storm or forest fire, and also beneficial for economic growth. The speaker opposed the overall idea by providing the various negative effect of salvage logging.
The author at first said salvage logging is beneficial because after a disaster dead trees are start decomposing and forest soil choked with dead trees, and salvage logging help to remove the dead trees prevent decomposing that provide a new space for plants to grow again. The speaker opposes the idea by saying salvage logging actually harm the environment, because decomposed trees provide nutrients to the soil, which is important for growth for trees, and by removing them means to prevent the nutrients to soak in the soil and hinders the growth of trees.
Another point the author said that salvage logging is important because many pester, insect, like, bark beetle grows in the dead trees and salvage logging minimize the chances of infection by the insect. The speaker counters the idea by saying all insects does not harm trees. Bark beets live the Alaskan forest for hundreds of years and do not harm anything. Dead trees also home for birds and other insects; by cleaning the area they also lost their home.
The last point the author provided was, salvage logging beneficial to the economy because the process needs more workers than other works and salvage logging help economy by creating more jobs. The speaker opposed the idea and questioned the salvage logging's beneficial effect to the economy. The speaker said, salvage logging creates jobs but they were all temporary and this job needs more experience worker than novice local workers. So, companies hire more experienced workers from outside.
