Both the reading passage and lecture discuss about possible cause for reduction of yellow ceder population. While the author presents several hypotheses regarding this matter, the lecturer holds the view that these theories are not enough to explain this phenomenon.
First of all, the author states that yellow ceder may be destroyed by insect parasites like bark beetle. However, the author argues that healthy yellow cedar are resistant to insects as they are saturated with some chemicals which are poisonous to insects. So, insect can only attack yellow ceder which are already damaged or sick and thus the lecturer asserts that insects can not be fundamental reason of decrement of yellow ceder.
Secondly, according to the passage, cedar bark contains much sugar that can attract brown bears and bears often claw at cedars to eat bark which weaken and ultimately kills yellow cedars. On contrast, the lecturer refutes this hypotheses and mentions that it could not be the reason of decline in overall population of cedar species. He points out to the fact that cedars are also declining in islands where bear does not exist. Thus, the authors point fails to prove that bears are responsible for the decline.
Finally, the author brings up the idea that gradual weather change plays a pivotal role in destruction of yellow cedars. Surface roots of this species are now growing in late winter and eventually frozen, which deteriorates health of the whole tree. On the other hand, the lecturer mentions that trees in both lower and higher elevation are declining, though weather in lower elevation is much warmer. Thus, it disproves the theory of declination of yellow ceder due to climate change.
