The reading passage and the professor are discussing forest fires. While the reading article considers that monitoring and managing forest fires is good for the environment, the speaker disagrees. He thinks that forest fires will also benefit the young animals and trees.
One reason why the lecturer disputes the writer is because of long-term destruction. The reading claims that fire suppression can improve health of trees, such like oak or hickory forest. However, the speaker says that forest fires can burn out these old oak trees which block the sun light and help young oak trees grow properly. He notes that oak trees need sun light when they are growing, but some trees, such as the maple, don’t need sun light.
Second, the speaker refutes the article by mentioning ground level. The passages point out that those areas where have recently experienced fires have lower nutrients in the soil. Nonetheless, the lecturer mentions that wild fires can burn out a lot of old trees and provide wider area for offspring trees to grow. He also notes that it is hard for young trees to grow under the shadow of old trees.
The third idea challenged by the speaker is related to deer population. The reading claims that the suppression of fire can protect animals from burning. On the contrary, the professor states that the population of deer can increase because deer can eat a lot of offspring oak trees. He also mentions that the total nutrients of forest will be burned out, but there are more available nutrients in the soil.
