Option 1

 * Article title
 * Land rehabilitation


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is missing information on forestry and farming land rehabilitation which it mentions in the lead section. I think these would be good areas to focus on for this article as there are already two sections focusing directly on ming land rehabilitation. I think adding or condensing verbiage would be good for this article too as some of the concepts might be difficult to grasp for the average reader.


 * Sources
 * "Assessment of soil rehabilitation in degraded Mediterranean areas: A case study in Murcia (SE Spain)" by M. A. Mingorance and colleagues, published in the journal Land Use Policy in 2015.
 * "Agroforestry and soil quality: a review of the implications for soil fertility, soil hydrology, and susceptibility to erosion in drylands" by F. O. Ayuke and colleagues, published in the journal Advances in Agronomy in 2016.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Artemisia douglasiana


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does a good job conveying a Variety of topics on California Mugwort, I do think additional information is necessary in each section to provide the reader with a clearer picture of the uses of mugwort. There is a section on potential Galls the plant can get, but there are two red embedded links within the article, I also think the cultivation section could be expanded upon as its only one sentence. The leading section is clear though and the sub sections are organized in a way that makes it easier to read for the general public.
