Option 1

 * Article title:Eucalyptus globulus
 * Article Evaluation:The lead section is done fairly well but could be more concise, and pauses need to be added to the sentences to help with flow. The content is good and a lot of good information, however it is very wordy, and some parts give a subjective tone to the information. The images and media are well place and help to elevate the information in the article. Sources are reliable but need to be used more frequently. ::Sources: Tissue-level distribution and speciation of foliar manganese in Eucalyptus ...: EBSCOhost:: Impact of native tree species introduction on soil nutrient and bacterial c...: EBSCOhost

Option 2

 * Article title:Artemisia tridentata
 * Article Evaluation:The lead section is well written and is not too long or too short. It also gives a good description of the rest of the article. The content is very diverse and covers multiple aspects. There are a few sections that are not as balanced and could use some more information. Some of the sections could also use more background information so the reader knows what the section is referring to and why it is relevant. There are no grammatical or spelling errors. The images used are helpful in supporting the information in the article and are well captioned but need to be cited. The reference list is abundant with many recent articles.

Option 3

 * Article title:Banana melon::Article Evaluation::The lead section of this article is nearly nonexistent. It consists of one unclear sentence. The only content provided is a brief description of the physical fruit itself and where its common name originated. There is much room for improvement here as many relevant sections are missing and could be added. Since the article covers so little, it is hard to say whether it is well balanced. There are only two sources referenced and they are not very well cited.
 * Sources: Natural biostimulants foliar application as sustainable mitigation strategy...: EBSCOhost:: Anti-urolithiatic effect of Cucumis melo L. var inodorous in male rats with...: EBSCOhost

Option 4

 * Article title:Vaccinium ovatum
 * Article Evaluation:The lead section is very brief and does not break down the rest of the article. The content is very brief as well, only covering a few topics. There is room for much improvement here. Because the content is brief it is hard to judge the tone and balance of the article. There are a few pictures which help improve the understanding of the topic, but they need to be captioned and cited. There are 12 references that are somewhat new. With mor information would come more sources that could be more up to date.
