1 .<-FEMALE PROFESSOR:->You’ve just read about three ways to save Torreya taxifolia.
该句暂无译文!
2 .Unfortunately, none of these three options provides a satisfactory solution.
该句暂无译文!
第3段
1 .About the first solution, reestablishing Torreya in the same location.
该句暂无译文!
2 .That’s unlikely to be successful because of what’s happening to the coolest, dampest areas within Torreya’s microclimate.
该句暂无译文!
3 .These areas are being strongly affected by changes in the climate of the larger region.
该句暂无译文!
4 .This could be because global warming has contributed to an increase in overall temperatures in the region or because wetlands throughout Florida have been drained.
该句暂无译文!
5 .Either way, many areas across the region are becoming drier.
该句暂无译文!
6 .So it’s unlikely that Torreya would have the conditions it needs to survive anywhere within its original Florida microclimate.

1 .Now, about the second solution, relocating Torreya far from where it currently grows.
该句暂无译文!
2 .Well, let’s look at what happened when humans helped another tree, the black locust tree, move north to a new environment.
该句暂无译文!
第5段
1 .When they did this, the black locust tree spread so quickly that it killed off many plants and trees in the new environment—and some of these plants and trees were themselves already in danger of becoming extinct.
该句暂无译文!
2 .So assisted migration can have unpredicted outcomes for the new environment.

1 .Third, research centers are probably not a solution either.
该句暂无译文!
2 .That’s because the population of Torreya trees that can be kept in the centers will probably not be able to resist diseases.
该句暂无译文!
3 .For a population of trees to survive a disease, it needs to be relatively large and it needs to be genetically diverse.
该句暂无译文!
4 .Tree populations in the wild usually satisfy those criteria.
该句暂无译文!
5 .But research centers would simply not have enough capacity to keep a large and diverse population of Torreya trees, so trees in such centers will not be capable of surviving diseases in the long term.
