This material addresses the question of the constant decline of the yellow cedar in the northern part of America during the last century. The reading passage suggests three main reasons that are responsible for killing the trees. The lecturer, on the other hand, refutes this information by stating that the real causes of the issue under consideration have not /yet/ been identified.
To begin with, the reading passage highlights that insect parasites may be the reason of the decline of the trees. This is due to the observed instances of the insects' negative impact on the yellow cedars. Meanwhile, the professor casts doubt on this and argues that cedar tress contain chemicals poisonous for inspects, and that only the trees that are already damaged might be attacked by insects.
Additionally, the article posits that brown bears might be cause of the problem, since they eat the cedar bark rich with sugar. However, the professor advocates a different approach and provides the following details. Namely, he mentions that populations of the yellow cedar decline even on the northern islands, where there are no bears. Consequently, the bears' habit is not the cause of the problem under consideration.
Finally, the author suggests that the alteration in time when the trees' roots are growing at present and, specifically the cold weather that harms the roots is one of the explanations of the fact. The listening passage states, though, that more harsh weather conditions in other places and their impact on the plants undermine the validity of the proposed theory.
