Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead

-I would suggest putting an introduction or background section with an introductory topic sentence at the beginning of the article that introduces the lake like where it is located and some geographic feature that differentiates it from other lakes.

Content

-There are clear sections that are each labeled in order to break up the information so that it is more organized.

-For the ecology section I would suggest adding a little more explanation in terms of what dimictic and what the significance of the lake being slightly acidic is. This way the readers can fully understand the subject and retain more information from the article.

-Very easy to understand and has a nice flow to the article.

-I would suggest trying to find an approved photo so the readers can better visualize the physical features of the lake.

-I would also suggest putting a general description of the ecosystems before the section "Invasive species" because it would flow better and be more of an introduction to the ecosystem section.

Tone and Balance

-No biases detected in the tone of the paper.

Sources and References

-The references are all journal/scholarly articles and all of the links work correctly.

- It seems all references are used fairly evenly so far so that not one link is used significantly more than the others.

Organization

-The organization of the article is good because it is broken up into a couple different sections and sub-sections so that it is easier to follow.

-The only thing I would suggest is to maybe break up the geographic features into more sub-sections but that is not a necessity it may just organize the paper in a way that allows for it to be easier to read.
