TPO-23 - Integrated Writing Task Populations of the yellow cedar, a species of tree that is common in northwestern North America, have been steadily declining for more than a century now, since about 1880. Scientists have advanced several hypotheses expla

Both the reading passage and the lecture discuss the causes of declining of yellow cedar trees in north America.The reading provides tree reason of declining yellew cedr trees such as insect parasites,brown bear,and climate change.However,the professor refutes each of the author's reasons.

The reading states that insect parasite such as Cedarbark beetle is responsible for declining of yellow cedar trees .On the other hand, the professor oppose this point by stating that yellow cedar is resistent to these species as they create powerful chemical substance that kill these insects .Bettles are only atttack sick or dead trees .As a consequence, the beetles are not responsible of decreasing yellow cedar trees.

secondly, the reading claims that brown bears are the cause of declining yellow-cedar trees as they claw and eat the threes because the trunk of these trees contains high amount of sugar.Nevertheless,the otar couteracts this point by explaing that in some areas other than north America ,there is declining of yellow cedar trees however, ther is no brown bears in this areas.Thereby, the brown bears are not related to the decline.

Finally, the passage states that the gradual change of climate is the reason of declining. The professor refutes this idea by giving an example of the yellow cedar trees died in the warm climates, although in some freezing areas ,there is no declining of the trees.
As shown, the lecture refutes each of the author's points.
