In the 1950s Torreya taxifoha, a type of evergreen tree once very common in the state of Florida, started to die out. No one is sure exactly what caused the decline, but chances are good that if nothing is done, Torreya will soon become extinct. Experts are considering three ways to address the decline of Torreya.
The first option is to reestablish Torreya in the same location in which it thrived for thousands of years. Torreya used to be found in abundance in the northern part of Florida, which has a specific microclimate. A microclimate exists when weather conditions inside a relatively small area differ from the region of which that area is a part. Northern Florida's microclimate is very favorable to Torreya's growth. This microclimate is wetter and cooler than the surrounding region's relatively dry, warm climate. Scientists have been working to plant Torreya seeds in the coolest, dampest areas of the microclimate.
The second option is to move Torreya to an entirely different location, far from its Florida microclimate. Torreya seeds and saplings have been successfully planted and grown in forests further north, where the temperature is significantly cooler. Some scientists believe that Torreya probably thrived in areas much further north in the distant past, so by relocating it now, in a process known as assisted migration, humans would simply be helping Torreya return to an environment that is more suited to its survival.
The third option is to preserve Torreya in research centers. Seeds and saplings can be moved from the wild and preserved in a closely monitored environment where it will be easier for scientists both to protect the species and conduct research on Torreya. This research can then be used to ensure the continued survival of the species.
The reading passage and the lecture both discuss the priblem with the kind of trees that is under the pressure of extince and the solution for this problem.In the rading part, the author mentions that there are three paractices that would be helpful for such trees. In the listening part, however, the profrssor challenges what the author states and tefutes the reasns.
To begin with, as mentioned in the article, the author sets forth that in the mocroclimate condition these kinds of trees can survie so we should reestablish them on there; nevertheless the profesor refutes the reasons asserting that with this eria, now becaus of the changing of the clomate, I mean global warming, is not more cooler than other places. Indeed, wet lands become dryer. In hance, they cannot survive in microclimet conditions.
Secondly, the author points out that individuals who imigrate to other reagons can carry them to new environment; nonetheless the speaker flatly contradicts the reasons and contends that when human helped with other kinds of trees, black trees, they killed them and the trees became extinct. there was an unprotective resullt for this problem.
finally, the writer claims that scientist can protect them in the reasearch cente. In contrasts, the professor is off the opinion that they cannot preserve them in the condition of the reaserch center because of the illnesses and the places have not enough capacity to survive the trees there; in the long-term effects, its demerits overwight its merits.
