UBecause of climate change, more and more land that was once used to grow crops or provide food for animals is turning to dry, unusable desert land. There are many proposals about how to stop this process, known as desertification. A number of proposals involve growing trees, because trees can help protect soil and provide many other benefits to fight against desertification. Some scientists have proposed that the best way to grow trees in dry areas in danger of desertification is by using a box-shaped device surrounding the young tree.The device collects water that condenses from vapor in the atmosphere and helps the tree to grow. However, other scientists believe that this device will not be successful in fighting against desertification for the following reasons.First, at a cost of 25 U.S. dollars each, the device would make growing trees a prohibitively expensive process. Meaningful efforts to fight desertification involve growiing millions of trees. Some countries most affected by desertification cannot afford to buy devices for millions of trees Second, plans for fighting desertification involve asking local people to install and maintain the devices. People living in some of the areas most affected by desertification work long days in harsh conditions: sometimes barely managing to provide food for their families. It would be difficult to motivate these people to look after trees that cannot serve as a source of food for them. Third, the device's ability to collect and conserve water is limited. Each one provides only enough water to keep a small tree alive. Trees that have outgrown the device have to deal with unforgiving environmental conditions on their own. In some places where the devices are being tried, six months can pass without a drop of rain. Once the trees become too big for the device, they may not be able to survive in such a harsh environment.
The reading text and lecture are both about the new technology that can be use to grow plant to mitigate the problem of desertification. While the author feel that, new box technology is not an worthwhile, in contrast to that lecturer present the three different view to prove that this new box technology is very useful.
First of all, according to reading text, grow box will cost about the 25 U.S. dollars, that is very costly. Article also mentions that, we have to plants million of tree to control a desertification. However, lecturer posits that, this grow box is reusable. In addition to that, he states that, this box can be used for 20 times in its life time. Then, if divide that cost of box by the number of tree then it will be too cheaper than the other sources.
Secondly, author suggests that, this boxes will require a frequent maintenance and he also notes down that, it will too much hard to convince the local to people to do that. On the other hand, professor point out that, if you talking about the rewards then it will be easy to motivate them. On top of that, he enlists various benefits like, people can use this water to irrigate their own plant and use old branches as a firewood.
In last, writer believe that, this device has a very limited capacity to stored a water. this box is only suitable for young tree. large tree can not grow in this boxes. To oppose this claim. Tutor said that, the large trees does not require this boxes. once the the root of the young tree can reach up to the moist soil, then it can thrive on their own. Additionally, he provided one instance that, 90 percent of the tree planted in the Sahara desert is still survive without this grow box.
