The reading and the passage discuss the decline of cedar trees.The reading provides three possible reasons for that phenomenon, however, the lecture refutes them all.
First of all, the article states that insects, especially the cedar bark beetles, feed on the trees and destroy them. The professor, on the other hand, rejects this claim. He explains that the healthy trees produce very powerful chemicals that kill those insects trying to attack them. The beetles affect only the sick or weak tress, which are already going to die. Hence, the beetles do not cause serious harm to the healthy trees.
Second, the passage contends that the aggressive feeding habits of the brown bears are devastate the cedar trees. In contrast, the speaker rebuts this supposition by elaborating that the tree exists along the coast of United States, and in some islands as well. The islands do not contain any bears, but the trees keep declining. Therefore, it is conspicuous that bears is not the reason for the decrease of the tress.
Third, the reading posits that the climate change in the recent years may be the culprit. Conversely, the professor points out that the decline of that plant species happens not only at the high elevation, but also at the low elevations, where the temperature is not so cold. Thus, it is unlikely that the cold or the climate change ruin the cedar trees' roots in low areas. Thus, the climate factor is eliminated.
