Salvage logging may appear to be an effective way of helping forests recover after a destructive fire or storm, but it can actually result in serious longer-term environmental damage. Its economic benefits are also questionable.
First, cleaning up a forest after a fire or storm does not necessarily create the right conditions for tree growth. In fact, the natural process of wood decomposition enriches the soil and makes it more suitable for future generations of tree. The rapid removal of dead trees can result in soil that lacks the nutrients necessary for growth.
Second, it’s true that rotting wood can increase insect populations, but is this really bad for the forest? In fact, spruce bark beetles have lived in Alaskan forest for nearly a hundred years without causing major damage. And of course dead trees do not provide habitats only for harmful insects. They are also used by birds and other insects that are important contributors to the long-term health of forests. In the long run, therefore, salvage logging may end updoing more harm to forests than harmful insects do.
And third, the economic benefits of salvage logging are small and don’t last very long, in severely damaged forests, much of the lumber can be recovered only by using helicopters and other vehicles that are expensive to use and maintain. Furthermore, jobs created by salvage logging are only temporary and are often fitted by outsiders with more experience or training than local residents have.
the article states that salvage logging, process of removing fired and dead trees from the suitable areas in the forest, has geat advantages for both forest and economic system, and provides three reasons for support. However, the professor explains that salvage logging in long term has the damages that forest force to confront with and refutes each of the author's reasons.
first, the reading claims that dead and fired trees take long time to decompose. also, they occupy suitable areas in the forest and become obstacle for other trees which can germinate and growth. the professor opposes this point by saying that dead trees are a good source of furtilities for trees because of not only these fertiliies are nature , but also could enrich the soil for future generation.
second, the article posits that dead trees are suitable habitat for insects and salvage logging can help decrease this species which ensure the heath of the forest. In contrast, the professor says that the insects in forest are pery for birds and other species contributing life in the forests.
third, the reading posits that based on the economic ground salvage logging has a great advantages for wood industries. the professor casts doubt on this point by saying that the benefits mentioned in the reading neither have large advantage for last long time nor have permanent job for labers. in addition, according to the professor,this process is expensive because needs many equipments like helicopter, and advanced technology fot processing these decaying woods.
