The source of ecological information that I have selected for this blog entry is “Effects of high temperatures on photosynthetic capacity in the leaves of creepers”, a journal article posted online from the ScienceAsia journal. The link to the article is as follows:
http://www.scienceasia.org/acconline/060-2019-0800.pdf
The article is classified as an academic, peer-reviewed research material. The authors Yuan Xue-Tao, Li Fu-Ping, and Gu Hai-Hong are associated with the College of Mining Engineering at North China University of Science and Technology, the Hebei Key Laboratory of Mining Development and Security, and the Hebei Industrial technology Institute of Mine Ecological Remediation in Tangshan. Following the article, the authors have included an acknowledgment, however, in this section peer-reviewers are not listed. Nonetheless, the ScienceAsia journal only publishes peer-reviewed articles, therefore, we can assume that it was peer-review before being published.
In the body of the article, sections were created to list the materials and methods of the conducted research, including the location, measurements of chlorophyll content, gas exchange, and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements. Following the presentation of their collected data sets, the authors provided a section for discussion on their findings and interpretations of their data.
