<div class=”_1p9bi7x0″>
<p class=”_ezlibb”>In the reading passage, the author comes up with three possible solutions in addressing the invasion of native plants by cheatgrass. On the contrary, the professor in the lecture states that none of those solutions will work well and explains it respectively.</p></div>
<div class=”_1p9bi7x0″>
<p class=”_ezlibb”>First of all, the writer points out that allowing animals to eat the cheatgrass could effectively control the spread of cheatgrass. However, the professor refutes against with this idea by mentioning that the grazers do not prefer cheatgrass.In this case, when animals are introduced to areas with abundant cheatgrass, they will choose to eat other native plants first. Hence, the native plants which people are intended to protect will be eliminated. It is obvious to say that encouraging animals to feed on cheatgrass will not improve the population of native plants but impose opposite impact.</p></div>
<div class=”_1p9bi7x0″>
<p class=”_ezlibb”>In addition, the reading passage demonstrates that the fire is another potential method in eliminating the threat presented by cheatgrass to the native plant. In contrast, the professor jeopardizes this idea thoroughly by mentioning that some seeds of the cheatgrass will fall down the ground and be buried below the ground. Although the fire will wipe out all of the cheatgrass above the ground, the seeds of cheatgrass will spring up and germinate from the ground after a while. Eventually, the cheatgrass will prevail over the area still. Thus, the use of fire is not effective.</p></div>
<div class=”_1p9bi7x0″>
<p class=”_ezlibb”>The last but not the least, the reading material supports the theory that the spread of fungal parasites which attack cheatgrass could solve the issue efficiently. At the same time, the professor disagrees with it. The cheatgrass and this species of fungus has been grown together for a long time that it already developed the resistance to the parasite of fungus. The fungal parasites merely could harm those weak cheatgrass, while most cheatgrass which are strong will not be affected. Thus, introducing fungus with parasites is not an efficient solution as well.</p></div>
