1 .Precautions like cleaning shoes and using bike scrubbers might help a little but they will not make a huge impact.

2 .The problem is that P. ramorum spores do not spread just through human assistance.
该句暂无译文!
3 .Studies have detected the spores in water streams following rainfall.
该句暂无译文!
4 .It appears that the spores are frequently picked up by rainwater and washed into water streams, which then carry them long distances.
该句暂无译文!
5 .This type of water-assisted spread is much harder to control.

1 .Second, the fungicides referred to in the reading provide effective protection against P. ramorum only when they’re injected directly into the tree trunks.
该句暂无译文!
2 .But their effect lasts only for a few months, so the injections have to be repeated.

3 .Now, this type of treatment might work if you want to protect a few oak trees in a city park, but it’s just not very practical in protecting whole forests that contain thousands and thousands of oak trees.

4 .Can you imagine forest managers having to inject every single oak in a large forest with a dose of fungicide every few months?
该句暂无译文!
5 .That sounds impractical and also too expensive.

1 .Third, as the reading explains, clear-cutting destroys the vegetation around the sick oak trees, because some of that vegetation may be infected.
该句暂无译文!
2 .But keep in mind that some of that surrounding vegetation is in fact healthy, and it gets destroyed in the process anyway.
该句暂无译文!
3 .Now, in some forests it makes sense to sacrifice some healthy vegetation in order to stop the spread of a dangerous disease.
该句暂无译文!
4 .However, the vegetation in many forests of the western United States includes tree species that are very rare and cannot grow back easily.
该句暂无译文!
5 .So, clear-cutting in these forests would mean destroying many healthy rare trees.
该句暂无译文!
6 .This would represent a greater ecological damage than the P. ramorum damage we’re trying to prevent.
