In this set of the materials, the author of the reading passage discusses that three hypotheses of the yellow cedar declining in northwestern North America. However, the professor thinks that the author's theories contain some defects.
First of all, the author claims that the cedar bark beetles may cause the yellow cedars died due to the beetles' larvae eat the wood. On the contrary, the professor indicates that the yellow cedar has the resistance to the beetles because the yellow cedar is poison to the beetles. When beetles eat the wood, it will cause them to sick and die.
In addition, the author states that the brown bears aggressive feeding the tree bark, which contains high sugar, may weak trees to decline. However, the professor refutes this idea by saying whether the lands have brown bears or not, the yellow cedar will decline eventually. Therefore, the brown bears are not the foundation cause the yellow cedar declines.
Finally, the author raises the point that the climate changing causes the yellow cedar starts growing in the late winter instead of growing in the early spring. The yellow cedar's roots are damaged by freezing winter nights. On the other hand, the professor asserts that if the yellow cedar's roots are suffering from the cold atmosphere, the yellow cedar in high elevation and cold areas would decline much more than the low elevation and warm areas. In fact, the yellow cedar in warmer areas has declined much more than the cold areas. Therefore, the climate changing is not related to the yellow cedar declining.
