Option 1

 * Article title: " Temperate deciduous forest"
 * Article Evaluation
 * This "Start-Class" article lacks a serious degree of specificity and doesn't acknowledge the importance of temperate deciduous forests as one of the major biomes. If I were to edit this article, I would add a couple of subcategories that go into more depth about the locations, features, common species, anthropogenic affects, and ecosystem services related to this biome. All information that is currently included is very broad and vague.

Option 2

 * Article title: " Groundwater-dependent ecosystems":
 * Article Evaluation
 * Within the article on Groundwater-dependent ecosystems, I found a number of grammatical errors and unclear language. While the topic receives an interdisciplinary approach, with subsections on a variety of topics, each category is very brief and doesn't go into much detail. The article is classified as a "Stub" article that needs to be revisited.:

EBSCOhost, https://doi.org/10.1080/10106049.2021.1948108.

Option 3

 * Article title: " Systems ecology":
 * Article Evaluation
 * While the article is off to a solid start, it includes some problematic block quotes that I believe could be paraphrased and incorporated into the topic of study in a smoother way. The article is currently classified as a "Stub" article and requires attention.:

Option 4

 * Article title: " Closed canopy":
 * Article Evaluation
 * At the moment, there are no articles about "Closed Canopies," only "Shade-tolerant" species. I believe other Wikipedians have determined a need for such an article, as "closed canopy" has been mentioned as a link in an article on "Ecological succession." While other articles touch on aspects related to closed canopies, there is no one space for a discussion and definition of this topic.:

Option 5

 * Article title: " Detritus":
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article appears to be incomplete, especially when it comes to citation of reliable sources to back up information stated. It is ranked as an article of "Mid" importance and is currently classified as a "C-class" article, meaning it contains irrelevant material. Some of the wording also needs to be revisited as it is not very clear. The article, while focused on an essential topic, appears to have received minimal attention which is hinted at by the lack of activity on its talk page.
