There will be two scientific sources of information. The first is Google Scholar, and the second is the university library. These sources will be obtained through six major search tags;
- Soil
- Vegetation
- Climate
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
- Climate change
- Weather
- Soil structure
- Vegetation cover
The sources will be selected if they meet three exclusion criteria needs. The first is the publication date. The sources that will be selected should be less than five years old. Secondly, the sources should be peer-reviewed to ensure that the sources have credible and authentic scientific information. Lastly the sources should be authored within Canada to help narrow down and restrict the topic to Canada.
