Both the reading passage and the lecture discuss the decline of yellow cedar population in northwestern North America. The passage gives several arguments to say the reasons of this diminish; however, the professor, in the lecture, does not concur with the author's deduction. He gives three pieces of evidences to support the idea that text's claims are not persuasive.
In the first place, it can be deduced from the reading part that insect parasites such as cedar bark beetle cause this decline. It is mentioned that this insect eats the bark of tree and make dramatic harms to this tree. This point is challenged by the speaker. He points out that yellow cedar trees are resistant to insects as their bark saturate poisonous chemical material and it could be said that insects attack to trees that are dead and destroyed before.
Moreover, that bears have significant impacts on the decline of cedar yellow tree's population is derived from the text. Bears use the bark of cedar trees as their food supplies and by clawing these trees, they become to be destroyed. At the same time, from the listening, it can be derived that bears do not live in the northwestern North America's islands. But the trees in this location become to be devastated. Therefore, the passage's claim is not true.
The final point, presented in the article, is that gradual climate changes, such as cold climate, harm the keen roots of these trees. The lecturer, on the other hand, casts doubt on the mentioned point by taking into the account of the fact that cedar yellow trees died and destroyed in the lower elevations that the weather is relatively hot.
All in all, the reading and the listening section both talks about the reasons of yellow cedar tree's population decrease. The speaker effectively challenges the claim made in the article.
