TPO 63 Cheatgrass #2
The reading states that ecologists have been suggested three solutions for controling and solving the problem caused by cheatgrass. The lecturer, however, finds the ideas dubious and casts doubt on the reasons proposed by the reading passage.
The writer argues that releasing some grazers such as cattle which feed on grasses, can be a good option to reduce the population of cheatgrass and providing spaces for native plants. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that cheatgrass is not the preferred grass for cattle to eat. They eat other grasses at first and then feed on cheatgrass. As a result, this approach may have the opposite effect and reduce the population of native plants.
Furthermore, the reading passage holds the view that by burning cheatgrass, which that are more flammable than other plants, fields can be provided for the growth of native grasses. On the contrary, the professor underlines the fact that cheatgrasses bury many seeds below the surface and after the elimination of surface plants by fire, they will give rise and flourish new plants, so it will not be a practical approach to solve this problem.
Finally, the reading states that by inserting a fungal parasite, which brings about problems for cheatgrass in their native locations, into these places the reproduction of cheatgrasses can be reduced. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that this parasite only have the ability to attack the weak and sick plants. Strong plants resist towards the parasite's attack and can stay alive. As a result this procedure cannot be efficient to reduce the spread of cheatgrass.
