Article Evaluation
Notes
- Some relevant information
- Proposes that surface drying/ deforestation/ excessive grazing (etc.) impact climate change; rather than global warming causing these land surface changes[1]
- Article references range from 2006 to 2016 (with the exception of one that was dated 1975)
- The Land surface effects on climate overview is brief and vague
- The second sentence is incomplete; it did not identify the significant role of deforestation and exploitation of natural landscapes[1]
- Deforestation is not made a link the first time it is introduced in the article
- No referencing in information stated under the subheadings: Orographic lift and Rain shadow
- The information needs to be elaborated on to develop a better understanding
- The article is neutral: references the journal of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics and papers published by the American Institute of Biological Sciences before paraphrasing the information; the article does not draw conclusions or personal ideas
- The view points appear to be underrepresented
