a type of evergreen tree once very common in the state of Florida started to die out. No one is sure exactly what caused the decline, but chances are good that if nothing is done, Torreya will soon become extinct. Experts are considering three ways to address the decline of Torreya.
The first option is to reestablish Torreya in the same location in which it thrived for thousands of years. Torreya used to be found in abundance in the northern part of Florida, which has a specific microclimate. A microclimate exists when weather conditions inside a relatively small area differ from the region of which that area is a part. Northern Florida’s microclimate is very favorable to Torreya’s growth. This microclimate is wetter and cooler than the surrounding region’s relatively dry, warm climate. Scientists have been working to plant Torreya seeds in the coolest, dampest areas of the microclimate.
The second option is to move Torreya to an entirely different location, far from its Florida microclimate. Torreya seeds and saplings have been successfully planted and grown in forests further north, where the temperature is significantly cooler. Some scientists believe that Torreya probably thrived in areas much further north in the distant past, so by relocating it now, in a process known as assisted migration, humans would simply be helping Torreya return to an environment that is more suited to its survival.
The third option is to preserve Torreya in research centers. Seeds and saplings can be moved from the wild and preserved in a closely monitored environment where it will be easier for scientists both to protect the species and conduct research on Torreya. This research can then be used to ensure the continued survival of the species.
The reading and the lecture are both about dyeing out of a kind of tree. The author of the reading feels that he can prevent this phenomena. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. He is of the opinion that the solutions given by the writer are faulty.
To begin with, the author argues that these trees can be grown again in north Florida micro climates. The article mentions that these trees prefer wet and cold places. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer.
She claims the micro climates are drained as result of global warming. Additionally, she states these habitats are no longer as cool as before because the average temperature of the earth is now increased.
Secondly, the writer suggests to move these trees to a new place. In the article, it is said that with assisted migration scientists can grow them in cooler and damper forests. The lecturer however, opposes this by mentioning an example about another kind of tree. He elaborates on this by bringing up the point that in that example the whole environment died out as a result of their quick spread.
Finally, the author posits that growing trees in research centers can be a help for this cause. Moreover in the article it is stated that not only the scientists can protect the trees by growing the plant in a lab but also they can do research on them. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that such an approach is not helpful since trees need to have genetic diversity in order survive. She notes that research labs do not have the capacity to grow enough number of trees and will still result in their extinction.
