The lecture and the reading discuss the declining of the yellow cedar trees. Although the passage claims that some theories would explain the reason for declining the yellow cedar trees, the speaker refutes this idea through several reasons which I will describe in this reporter.
First and foremost, the passage points out that some insects such as beetle attacked to the yellow cedar trees and killed them. The lecturer, in contrast, rejects this by claiming that the healthy yellow cedar trees were generally much more resistant than other trees. He explains that healthy yellow cedar trees produce saturated toxic liquid. This chemical liquid safe the trees from attacked insects. But, unhealthy yellow cedar trees could not produce this liquid; hence, insects barked to the trees. So, before attack beetles, the yellow cedar trees became disses.
Furthermore, unlike the passage which states that bears were eaten the yellow cedar trees as their food so that they killed trees. However, the professor argues that the yellow cedar trees were declining both vast area and some islands. But, In the islands bear did not live so that bears could not cause for the yellow cedar trees' die.
Finally, although the reading passage says that climate change is a reason for declining the yellow cedar trees; in contrast, the speaker disagrees by mentioning that the yellow cedar trees were living both high and low elevate. In the high elevate the temperature was colder than the lower elevations. But, we can see the yellow cedar trees died in the low elevate which the weather was warmer than higher elevate. Therefore, the cold temperature was not a reason for declining population the yellow cedar trees.
