英語Ⅰ．以下の英文を読み，問Ａ . 問Ｂ . に答えよ（なお , ＊印を付した語句には注がある）。
We can grow and manage trees specifically for our own use, and/or we can help
them to grow just because they have a right to live, and are good for other species.
１
Trees for our own use can be raised in plantations*, and it makes
toidentify the kinds that produce the timber* we need and grow quickest in the landavailable. This was the thrust* of the colonial* approach to tropical forestry, of thenineteenth and most of the twentieth century. Often the favored trees were exotics,
planted in lands not their own: and thus the world at large now has many thousandsof hectares of eucalypts, originally transplanted from Australia, while Australia has
estates of Indian sandalwood; South and Central America have acquired teak fromIndia and Burma*; Britain’s Forestry Commission planted vast areas of uplands (andsometimes lowlands) with American Sitka spruce after the First World War; and２.
Such exotic planting has many advantages. Eucalypts judiciously planted inAfrica and Asia commonly produce ten times as much timber per year as native
species — and this in theory should take an enormous burden from the native forests.
Commonly, too, species brought from abroad leave their usual pests* behind them,３
teak grown in Amazonia, for instance, seems free of the defoliator moths* thatcause such havoc in India. But there are many drawbacks* too. Britons* have objected
on aesthetic grounds to the military ranks* of Sitka spruce. Exotic trees do provide
shelter for local creatures and often supply some food, but in general they are far lesshospitable* to local wildlife than native species. Sometimes they are positively hostile:
conifers on Scottish hillsides increased the acidity of the soil and compromised local
flora*, and eucalypts on dry soils can rob their neighboring plants of water. Exotic
timber trees have often escaped to become weeds — like many a eucalypt and acacia.
Parasitic sandalwoods from India grown in Australia have sometimes escaped toattack the local eucalypts, while native sandalwoods in India have sometimes attacked
eucalypt plantations. Human beings may choose to manipulate nature this way andthat, but the natural battles of ecology continue.
４Finally,
exotics often grow supremely well in ideal land, they often fare nobetter than the natives when planted on poor land: but forest is commonly relegated*to poor land, since the best is reserved for agriculture. Then, native species would
often be preferable because of their general friendliness to local people and wildlife
４—
they have often in practice been ousted* by forestry plantations effectively
as a matter of routine. In Harare, Zimbabwe, Gus Le Breton runs Phytotrade Africa,
devoted to the development of native species, not least of the wonderfully versatile*
local baobab, Adansonia digitata. In 2004, at the Forestry Research Institute at Dehra
５Dun*, the then director Dr Padam Bhojvaid was seeking to reinstate* asaspossible of the 400 or so native Indian species that have been used commercially inthe past, many of which have been sidelined through the emphasis on teak (native toIndia to be sure, but still grown in colonial style in huge monocultural* plantations).
In truth, there is and always will be a place for plantations of exotics, and the world
has good cause to be grateful to the traditional “colonial” foresters* who laid thegroundwork in science and technique and nowadays tend often to be underappreciated.
