The reading and lecture both discuss the possible explanation of yellow cedar tree declining. While the reading provides three ideas to explain the decline of yellow cedar, the professor refutes, saying none of these claims are convincing.
Firstly, the reading avers that cedar bark beetle is the cause behind the decrease of yellow cedar population. On the other hand, the professor refutes this idea by saying that the healthy yellow cedar is more resistant to the insects. In addition, the bark leave of yellow cedar have toxic chemical which is poison to the insects. So, how come the dead cedar tree infected by beetles.
In addition, the article mentions that the brown bears eat the cedar tree bark. This is because these trees have a high amount of sugar content. As a result, the cedar population had been declined. However, the professor argues this notion by saying that bears can damage some trees, but they could not cause decline for the whole population. Moreover, the island and other places have yellow cedar but there is no bears on the island. However, the cedar also declined there. So, the yellow cedar declined with or without bears.
Lastly, the article states that the climate changes caused decline in cedar population. This is because the low temperature damaged the cedar roots. Nevertheless, the professor questions this idea by pointing out that they forgot one fact that the cedar trees also died at the lower elevation which is considered more warmer. Furthermore, the freezing weather could cause damage at cedar roots, but we should found more dead cedar at higher elevation. In fact, there is more cedar died at lower elevation. So. cedar is already sensitive.
