TPO63-cheatgrass
Recently, there has been a ton of debate in the field of ecology as to how to control species of plants, which are invasive in their habitats. More specifically, in regard to the passage, the writer puts forth solutions that can help control cheatgrass, as contributor destructive effects on nature. In the listening passage, the lecturer is quick to point out there are some serious flaws in the writer's claims. In fact, the professor believes author's solutions are anecdotal, and addresses, in detail, the trouble with each point made in the reading text.
First and foremost, the author of the reading states that releasing grazer animal like cattle in order to eat cheatgrasses, which help native species to reproduce (burgeon). some professionals in the same field, however, stand in firm opposition to this claim. In the listening, for example, the professor states the grazers firstly prefer to eat other kinds of plants. he goes on to say that this strategy would have more negative effects on animal habitats, and increase the rate of destruction.
one group of scholars, represented by the writer, think that one easy and quick way is removing a great wealth of cheatgrass with realistic and controllable fire. it could provide new fields for growing other plants. Of course, not all experts in this field believe this is accurate. Again, the speaker specifically (precisely) addresses this point when he states a large number of cheatgrass seeds remain under the surface of the ground. In fact, after a while, cheatgrasses germinate in the habitat.
Finally, the author wraps his argumentation by positing that using fungal parasites, as invasive species, control cheatgrass. The fungus could decrease the rate of spreading cheatgrass, which helps other native plants to compete with cheatgrass probably. Not surprisingly, the lecturer takes issue with this claim by contending that cheatgrass and fungus live with each other for a long time. cheatgrass has enough resistance against fungus. In fact, fungus just has negative impacts on weakness and sick cheatgrasses, which means this solution is not reasonable. 335
To sum up, both the writer and professor hold conflicting views about strategies controlling the cheatgrass. it is clear that they will have trouble finding common ground on reclamation(revival) native species.
