Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they castdoubt onthe specific methods proposed in the reading passage.
This passage raises several methods to reduce the amount of cheatgrass. However, none of them are convinced by the lecture.
Firstly, the lecture refutes the idea in the passage that we can encourage livestock to feed on cheatgrass to reestablish native species. It argues that livestock prefers other kinds of plants rather than cheatgrass. Although they feed on cheatgrass, they eat cheatgrass only after native grass has been destroyed. Therefore, we will obtain the opposite effect in this way.
The second measure, that we can burn the cheatgrass off since it is highly flammable is rejected by the lecturer. Secondly, the passage purposes that we can burn the cheatgrass off since it is highly flammable, while the lecture holds an opposite view. The lecture contends that fire cannot harm the seeds buried below the surface. Considering these seeds can germinate after being buried for several years, cheatgrass will soon come back after we set fires.
The last point in the passage is also challenged by the lecture. The passage suggests introducing a fungus that specifically attacks cheatgrass from where cheatgrass is a native species. The lecture disagrees with this suggestion by pointing out that cheatgrass has developed resistance against the fungus since they have lived together in native habitats for a long period of time. This fungus will only harm cheatgrass which has already been weak. Therefore, we cannot reduce cheatgrass in this way.
