The reading and the lecture are both about the ways of minimizing the decline of Torreya taxifoha tree, which is used to be a common tree in the state of Florida. The author of the reading believes that the experts considered three ways to stop the tree becoming extinct. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the reading. She thinks that those solution does not give any support.
First, the author claims that to reestablish the Torreya trees in the same location. He believes that Northern Florida has a micro-climate environment, which is favorable to those trees. This point is challenged by the lecturer. She says that this area is no longer has a cooler environment. Furthermore, she points out due to global warming the wetlands have been drained.
Secondly, the author states that to move those trees to a different location. He argues that Torreya seeds have been successfully planted and grown in forests further north. This argument is rebutted by the lecturer. She suggests that when moving to different location, Torreya trees will spread quickly around and kills other native plants and trees around.
Finally, the author mentions that it is a good method to preserve Torreya trees in research centres. He is of the opinion that planting those trees in research centres will be easier for scientists to protect the trees as well as to conduct research on Torreya trees. The lecturer, on the other hand, feels that there is no enough capacity to grow Torreya trees in the research centres. She puts forth the idea that scientists cannot resist the trees from diseases.
In conclusion, the reading and the lecture are both about the solutions to stop the decline of Torreya trees. The lecturer effectively challenges the claims made in the reading.
