Every year, forest fires and severe storms cause a great deal of damage to forests in the northwestern United States. One way of dealing with the aftermath of these disasters is called salvage logging, which is the practice of removing dead trees from affected areas and using the wood for lumber, plywood, and other wood products. There are several reasons why salvage logging is beneficial both to a damaged forest and to the economy.
First, after a devastating fire, forests are choked with dead trees. If the trees are not removed, they will take years to decompose; in the meantime, no new trees can grow in the cramped spaces. Salvage logging, however, removes the remains of dead trees and makes room for fresh growth immediately, which is likely to help forest areas recover from the disaster.
Also, dead trees do more than just take up space. Decaying wood is a highly suitable habitat for insects such as the spruce bark beetle, which in large numbers can damage live, healthy spruce trees. So by removing rotting wood, salvage logging helps minimize the dangers of insect infestation, thus contributing to the health of the forest.
Third and last, salvage logging has economic benefits. Many industries depend upon the forests for their production, and because of this a fire can have a very harmful effect on the economy. Often, however, the trees that have been damaged by natural disasters still can provide much wood that is usable by industries. Furthermore, salvage logging requires more workers than traditional logging operations do, and so it helps create additional jobs for local residents.
The reading promulgates the beneficial effects of salvage logging. It also provides three supporting ideas in order to strengthen its position. The professor was however says salvage logging will rather do long term problem in the forest. She refutes each of the reading claim.
First, the passage states removing dead trees will create room for fresh growth. However, the lecturer denies this proposition. She says, the removing of dead logs will not needed because by decomposing the dead trees will enrich the soil with nutrients that helps forest growth.
Second, the reading asserts salvage logging will helps to remove infest infestation. But, the professor refutes this statements. She explains, infest will rather help to enrich the forest. Such as, the Spurs Burg Beetle that sustain particular forest without doing harm. Rather, insects will helps to decompose of dead trees and attract to build a new natural habitat where different birds, animals will come to live.
Third, the passage claims salvage logging will have economic benefits by creating new jobs. The proposition is quite preposterous withy the professor stances. She describes, in order to free the forest from dead trees, there will need high power and expensive instruments that will be spendthrift choice. And also the possible job creation will only temporary.
