The source I chose was: An integrated analysis of the effects of past land use on forest herb colonization at the landscape scale by Kris Verheyen. This source is academic peer reviewed research material. This is because of the following:
- The source is written by an expert in the field – Dr. Kris Verheyen, from the University of Leuven, He is the head of the Forest and Nature Lab. It includes in text citations, and it contains a bibliography. Therefore, it is academic material.
- The source has been reviewed by at least 1 referee before publication. Therefore it is peer-reviewed academic material.
- The source does report results of a field study completed by the authors. Therefore, it is academic peer-reviewed research material.
