TPO 14
According to the reading, salvage logging, which is a process of cleaning forests from dead trees after an incident, can be beneficial for both forests and economics. However, the professor refutes the author's stance and explains why the conclusions are flawed.
First of all, the passage asserts that removing dead trees can accelerate the growth of new trees by releasing the occupied space. On the contrary, the lecturer mentions that such trees are able to enhance the soil quality in the long run. If one removes these trees from a forest, the soil will probably suffer from a lack of nutrients, and consequently, the growth of new trees will be limited.
Secondly, the article argues that insects such as spruce bark beetle can occupy the dead trees and deteriorate the forest in the future. The woman rejects this idea by stating that such insects have lived in mentioned forests for years without damaging their surroundings. In addition, dead trees are also a habitat for useful animals such as birds, which can be advantageous for the forest in the future.
Thirdly, the reading maintains that salvage logging can help the economy by offering new jobs and providing industries with wood resources. According to the listening, in contrast, cleaning forests are only practical if a nation uses high-end facilities such as helicopters that are expensive. Hence, the cost of this action outweighs its profits. Furthermore, the jobs are temporary, and these workers are usually experts from other states rather than locals; Therefore, there is no overall economic merit in the process of salvage logging.
In conclusion, the passage presents three reasons in support of salvage logging, but the professor provides three contradicting explanations to attack the ideas in the passage.
