The lecture and reading are both about desertification resulting from climate change and preventing it by growing trees using small devices. The author of the reading feels that the devices are not so successful to help trees grow. The lecturer however disagrees, saying that the problems stated for the devices are not so true and severe.
To begin with the lecture and the reading both discuss the cost of the devices. The reading suggests that the devices are expensive and since you have to grow millions of trees in some areas to prevent desertification, it will cost a lot of money. The lecturer however disagrees stating that while the devices cost money, they can be reused once a tree has outgrown a device. The same device can be used for other trees in order to help them grow.
Second the reading and the lecture both discuss installation and maintenance of the devices by the locals. The reading mentions that it will be hard to motivate the locals to look after the devices, because they work in really harsh conditions and barely manage to provide food for their families. In contrast the lecturer says that while it could be hard to motivate the locals it is possible. The devices provide water for the trees and you could motivate the locals by telling them that they can use the excess water of the devices to grow vegetables for food. Additionally once the trees have grown enough the locals can use their branches to make fire. So these factors can act as motivators for the locals.
Finally the lecture and the reading discuss the limitations of the devices to keep trees alive. The reading suggests that the devices can only nourish trees when they're small and once they outgrown the devices, they have to survive harsh conditions on their own. The lecturer however, disagrees by claiming that the trees can indeed survive harsh conditions after growing too big for the devices. Because the devices help the trees grow really deep roots and they gain access to underground waters. As an example the lecturer mentions the use of devices in Sahara desert. In which 90% of the trees could survive after they outgrow the devices because of their deep roots.
