The reading and the lecture are both about the declining population of Torreya Taxifolia. The author feels that several options can be effective to increase and preserve population. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She is of the opinion that these ways are not satisfactory.
To begin with, the author argues that this plant can be grown in its own microclimate to thrive its population. The article mentions that this microclimate is cooler and wetter than others that is favorable for this tree. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that this way is unlikely effective because of the warming temperature of this microclimate. Additionally, she says that global warming significantly affected the temperature and moisture that is unfavorable for these plants to thrive.
Secondly, the writer suggests that moving this plant to completely different location can be effective. In the article, it is said that by moving it to cooler regions that are more suitable for its survival scientists will be able to contribute its population increase. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that another example, the black locust tree, was tested in this way and it was ineffective and more hazardous. She elaborates on this by bringing up the point that black locust trees spread so quickly, so that they damaged other trees, and cause them to become nearly extinct.
Finally, the author posits that preserving Toreya in research centers can be another way to avoid its extinction. Moreover, it is stated in the article that by preserving it there, scientists can monitor and protect its population easily. In contrast, the lecturer’s position is that these trees need large place and diverse population to resist disease because it is relatively impossible to prevent the disease alone. She notes that this research centers have relatively small area for this requirement to prevent and protect these trees from disease.
