So these way ways/methods are dangerous and can possibly to bring about un-predicted outcomes. (Either "outcomes" or "an outcome". I like "methods" better here. It sounds like scientific methods. "unpredicted"... may not be a word. "unexpected" is common, "unpredictable" is common.)
Finally, the author states the way that Torreya can be protected in research centers. (Or "a way/a method that")The lecturer, on the other hand, points out that the population of Torreya will not increase. She puts forth the idea that such centers do not have enough capacity to grow Torreya.("such" or "research" is necessary. Otherwise "centers" sounds strange. Like 真ん中.)As a result they the Torreya cannot increase in the long term.("They" is ambiguous here. Does it refer to the Torreya, or the research centers?)
In conclusion, the lecturer effectively casts doubt on all of the claims on theories preserved in the reading.("claims" and "theories" is redundant. And "preserved" is 保つ?温存?One could only use "preserved" with writing if it were very ancient and more about the text still surviving into modern times. "The details of the ancient ritual were preserved in stone tablets found millennia later in a monastery." More common: "Bits of clothing and cartilage were preserved by the dry climate and reveal the biology and lifestyle of ancient peoples." )
about Torreya taxifoha (Taxifolia, "folia" is latin for plants I think. And I looked this up, the common name is "Florida nutmeg".)
First of all, the author points out that we can reestablish Torreya in the same place in which it thrived for many years. (私は間違います。わかりません。In the first paragraph, you say [the author believes it will become extinct" and then "the lecturer casts doubt on the claims" so I thought this was about the circumstances where florida nutmeg becomes extinct, not ways to save it and prevent it from becoming extinct. So perhaps instead, that sentence above should be "She thinks that the way provided in the reading to prevent Florida nutmeg's extinction is unlikely to succeed.")This point is challenged by the lecture. She says that the climate strongly affects Torreya's growth. Furthermore, she argues that global warming is increasing temperatures around the world. (Or "the temperature") As a result, the habitat for Torreya is becoming drier. (This is a strange "result". Increasing temperatures around the world cause many things and not always drier climates. And "habitat" could refer to any area in which Torreya could be grown. To clarify, it would be better to say "She argues that, because of global warming, Torreya's natural habitat is becoming drier.")
Secondly, the author contends that we can move Torreya to a place quite different from its/the Florida microclimate. (I like "its" more than "the" here because "microclimate" suggests the particular native habitat of Torreya rather than the climate of Florida as a whole which would be "quite different from the Florida climate.") The lecturer rebuts this argument. She suggests that moving plants to different habits affects other ecosystems. For example, Black locust trees were planted in a different place and they killed many native trees. (Either "a different place" or "different places". locus is 軌跡、重点、locust is 蝗?I added "native" trees because otherwise "trees" is ambiguous. Did transplanting the trees kill the black locust trees? Or did they crowd out the previous inhabitants?)
