Every year, forest fires and severe stormscause 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 treescan grow in the cramped spaces. Salvage logging, however, removes the remains of dead trees and makes room for fresh growth immediately, which i s 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 passage and lecture are both about excluding damaged wood from the forest which is called salvage logging. The author strongly postulates that using dead trees for lumber, plywood, and other wood products are essential to both economies and destroyed a forest. On the other hand, The listening adamantly delineates that it results in serious long-lasting terminal consequences to a forest because of several compelling reasons.
First and foremost, According to the author of the excerpt that if we don't eliminate the dead trees, they will take a great amount of time to decay and other new ones can't grow in this area. Nonetheless, the professor in the lecture offsets these points by declaring that the new trees grow in rich nutritional soil but it doesn't give pleasure conditions to grow even if they remove those dead trees.
On top of this, The professor elaborates by bringing up the point that spruce bark beetles have lived in Alaska for a long time without causing any problem to trees and it just only attracts the insects but birds and other animals which contribute a lot to it arrive in that area so the author's opinion is somewhat groundless. these claims refute the writer's implications about insects cause a dangerous situation to the health of the forest.
The text lastly insists that it is greatly beneficial to economic because a lot of manufactories use the forests to produce productions and this operation requires a great deal of labour so it creates supplementary jobs to local residents. The speaker in the lecture counters these indications by asserting that removing wasted trees needs to use a helicopter or potent mechanisms, thus its high-priced to maintain it. Furthermore, the professor also mentioned that it requires special training to give knowledge of excluding trees to local inhabitants.
