My chosen source is very relevant to the area which I have chosen to observe/study (see Blog Post 1). It is entitled “Environmental History of a Garry Oak/Douglas-Fir Woodland on Waldron Island, Washington” (Dunwiddie et al., 2011), and viewable at http://www.bioone.org/doi/full/10.3955/046.085.0205. This represents peer-reviewed research, as it is published in a peer-reviewed journal (Northwest Science), and the authors present original research, including their study site, methods used, results, and a through discussion of their findings.
