- Pick one of the three posted articles and write a detailed analysis (100-200 words) on their presented article using concepts that you have learned from the textbook. You can get creative with the way you relate the information (theories, hypotheses, studies, etc.) found in your book with the material in the article but, make sure you have at least 2 connections to get full credit.
- One of your two connections can be between the book and the supplemental resources, but one must relate the article to the textbook material.
- As always, properly cite your work to prevent plagiarism. You can find examples on how to make a proper citation in the link below:https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_in_text_citations_the_basics.html
- Using bullets or in a separate paragraph, answer one discussion question of your choice in 2-3 sentences.
1) Discussion: Passive Reclamation of Soft-Sediment Ecosystems in Canada
Article: Canada réclamation of soft sediment
Supplemental Resources:
1. “Chemical Pollution in the Great Lakes” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJak30cIGGA
2. “Bruce Museum Seaside Center: Soft Sediments” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DqmDKl1W8A
3. “Marine soft sediments: more diversity than meets the eye”
Discussion Questions:
1. Why is Eutrophication such a big problem in many bodies of water?
2. With high disturbances of pollution in the soft-sediment, how would invasive species be impacted if these disturbances were to possibly advance?
3. If soft sediment communities continue to face disturbances and continue to recover, discuss ways the community will eventually adapt to need these disturbances.
4. Can a naturally occurring disturbance counteract an anthropogenic disturbance such as pollution in a soft sediment community? If so, explain.
