The paper written by Michael Notaro discusses how different ecosystems change in different locations and in changing temperatures. This paper can be used to support any of the questions I provided in blog 1 which makes this a good paper to reference for the question I will choose to conduct an experiment for. I found this paper on the Academic Search Complete database from the TRU library databases page. Within the acknowledgments on page 854 it states two anonymous reviewers looked over the paper making it peer-reviewed. This paper is an academic source because the author provides in-text citations and a reference list, also the author, Michael Notaro, holds a position at the centre for Climatic Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison when writing this paper. Lastly this is a review paper because even though there is a model and methods section the data used is collected from other experiments that are used as references to provide support for the paper. Therefore, there was no experiment conducted during the writing of this paper making it a review paper. When combining these all together this makes the paper an academic, peer-reviewed, review paper.
