The source is “Controlling Cattail Invasion in Sedge/Grass Meadows” and can be found here: https://link-springer-com.ezproxy.tru.ca/content/pdf/10.1007%2Fs13157-017-0971-8.pdf . This source is an academic, peer-reviewed research paper. Since the author is affiliated with a college in New York I know that the paper is written by an expert in the field. This along with the fact that the paper contains in-text citations and a bibliography I know that it is academic material. In the acknowledgments, two anonymous reviewers are thanked which makes this peer-reviewed academic material. And the paper reports results from a field or lab study completed by the authors (contains methods and results section) which overall, makes this academic, peer-reviewed research material.
