about Torreya taxifoha The reading and lecture are both about Torreya taxifoha, which is very famous in the state of Florida. The author of the reading believes that it will become extinct in the near future . The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. She thinks that the way provided in the reading is difficult to succeed. First of all, the author points out that we can reestablish Torreya in the same place in which it thrived for many years. This point is challenged by the lecture. She says that the climate strongly affect Torreya's growth. Furthermore, she argues that global warmig is increasing temperature around the world. As a result, the habitat for Torreya is beoming drier. Secondly, the author contends that we can move Torreya to a place quite different from Florida microclimate. The lecturer rebuts this argument. She suggests that moving plants to different habits affects other eco system. For example, Black locus trees were planted in different place and they killed many trees. So these way are dangerous and possible to bring about unpredicted outcome. Finally, the author states the way that Torreya can be protected in research centers.The lecturer, on the other hand, points that the population of Torreya will not increase. She puts forth the idea that centers do not have enough capacity to grow Torreya.As a result they cannot increase in the long term. In conclusion, the lecturer effectively casts doubt on all of the claims on theories preserved in the reading.

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".)

The reading and lecture are both about Torreya taxifolia, which is very famous in the state of Florida. The author of the reading believes that it will become extinct in the near future . The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. She thinks that the way circumstances provided described in the reading is difficult are unlikely to succeedoccur.(I'm guessing at what you want here.  "way" is like 方法、使い方、"provided" 提供? 備える?"difficult to succeed with" 成功は難しいです。変わりに:文章で状況が出る可能性は低いです。?)

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?)
