The reading and the lecture discuss solutions to save Torreya from different perspectives. The article provides three ways to preserve Torreya. However, the lecture casts doubt on the claims made in the article. He says that none of those methods are convincing.
First of all, the author of the reading points out that people can reestablish Torreyas by growing them in the same location if Florida. It is stated that the climate there is cool and suitable for Torreya's growth. This point is challenged by the lecture. He restates the fact that Florida affects strongly the change weather and globe warming increases the temperature significantly in Florida. Moreover, Florida has been rain frequently, it has become dryer and dryer. Then it is very difficult for Torreya to survive.
Secondly, the author of the reading contends that people can move Torreya to areas much further in the North. The lecture rebuts this idea with the fact that people used to move Black - lotus to the North. The Black - lotus grew rapidly and threatened other native trees in that environment. As a result, many kinds of trees there were in the jeopardy of extinction. Therefore, the solution that the article has mentioned cannot apply.
Finally, the author of the reading states that research centers can preserve Torreya. The lecture, on the other hand, opposes this argument that to resist disease, Torreya trees need to exist with other plants in a large population and diversity community. Meanwhile, the research centers are not able to protect Torreya for a long term.
