The reading and the lecture are both about a kind of evergreen trees that are called Torreya. The author of the reading believes that it can be saved and provides ways in order to do so. However, the lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article because she finds them ineffective.
To begin with, the author points out that people can reestablish this tree in the place it was growing long ago. To be more specific, it is mentioned that the microclimate conditions are cooler and, as a result, it would stimulate the growth of the tree. This point is challenged by the lecturer. She says that it makes no sense because the climate there is not that cool as it was before. In addition, she explains that it happened due to the global warming.
Secondly, the author contends that another way to preserve these trees is to move them in another place that is far from Florida, which has a different microclimate. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. She thinks that this strategy is unpredictable and supports her opinion by giving the example of another species tree, which was removed by people and caused a death of other living trees.
Finally, the author states that a research center may be an excellent place to grow and conduct them. The lecturer, on the other hand, posits that it is a bad idea because trees living in such conditions would not be as resistant, as natural trees. She puts forth the idea that then these trees would not be capable to live in the environment.
In conclusion, the lecturer effectively casts doubt on the claims and theories made in the reading.
