Hello Jaden

I see you have made an outline and have filled in those areas. I do like that the information you have so far added to the outline. The clarity of what is written on the eco respiration page is that of a blinding fog that does not explain much at all, you have given a much clearer answer to what eco respiration is. Your link for the nature.com article is astonishing in how many references such a small amount of text can have. All of your links are very fascinating because of the abundance of knowledge packed away in them and have an abundence of citations to back up the information. However socratic has no citation for the answer so I cannot find it to be reliable even though I do not doubt the content it must be verified. I would recommend adding some math if possible from one of your cited articles that would explain a little about the function in which the eco system resperates. I really like your work so far.

 Outline for additions: 

 Clear definition/background knowledge definitions: 

Ecosystem respiration is the operation in which the organisms within a specified ecosystem use the process of respiration to convert organic carbon to carbon dioxide. While the amount of respiration is varied upon the type of ecosystem and the community abundance, the mechanism occurs in both aquatic and terrestrial environments.

 How ecosystem respiration works and its importance: 

Ecosystem respiration happens when a cell takes glucose and oxygen and uses it to produce carbon dioxide, energy, and water. This transaction is important not only for the benefit of the cells, but for the carbon dioxide output provided, which is key in the process of photosynthesis. Without respiration, actions necessary to life, such as metabolic processes and photosynthesis, would cease

''Some content gaps in my article include a more clear and visual definition, as well as some more overall background information about ecosystem respiration. I would like to focus on adding a more clear definition to the page, as well as discussing the science of ecosystem respiration, and how humans have an impact on it.''

''I added a citation after "Ecosystems" in the first sentence. It is also located below in the references section.''

''The article I evaluated "Maintenance of an Organism", touched very generally on the topic. I found this article more confusing than helpful, as the thoughts felt disorganized and lacked a lot of definitions and information. This article also did not include any sources, causing the information to be potentially unreliable or biased. If I were to edit this article, O would find a more user-friendly definition and would break down the information in depth. Somatic maintenance an maturity maintenance were definitions use to break down overall organism maintenance, which deemed helpful, but could have gone into more detail and description, leading to a more well rounded definition of organism maintenance.''
