Sources of Scientific Information Blog Post

An ecology source I have found is: Koper N, Molloy K, Leston L, & Yoo J. (2014). Effects of Livestock Grazing and Well Construction on Prairie Vegetation Structure Surrounding Shallow Natural Gas Wells. Environmental Management, 54:1131-1138. This article can be found at the following link: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00267-014-0344-5.

I would classify this source as academic peer-reviewed research material. This source is academic because it was written by experts in the field as demonstrated by their affiliation with the University of Manitoba, and it contains in-text citations and a bibliography. The source being peer-reviewed is evident in the Acknowledgements section where three anonymous reviewers are thanked. It is also research material instead of a review because specific methods and results are outlined in the paper.
