Description, Characteristics & Cultivation - A portion of the Platanus racemosa article that I'd like to correct is the small portions on description and cultivation as they either do not have citations or have more opinionated statements. By finding a variety of sources, I thought I could improve upon article with lots of evidence to back me up.


 * Brush, Warren David. “Distinguishing Characters of North American Sycamore Woods.” Botanical Gazette, vol. 64, no. 6, University of Chicago Press, Dec. 1917, pp. 480–96. https://doi.org/10.1086/332176.
 * This is a part of an academic published for the Botanical Gazette and as result, it is a reliable source. A portion of it goes into detail about the Western sycamore and as it aligns with some of the other article's descriptions, I chose it. It is a secondary source.
 * Lang, Kylene R. “Microsatellite Development in ‘Platanus’ for Documenting Gene Flow Among Species.” ScholarWorks, 2011, https://scholarworks.calstate.edu/concern/theses/8049g5613.
 * This is a thesis paper published to the CSU Chico website, so it should be a reliable source. I would say that it does garner notability since it covers the Platanus racemosa, or the California sycamore, in great detail. It is a secondary source as it is a thesis paper.
 * York, Garden Society. Garden. 1977, www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/44495841#page/5/mode/1up.
 * This an article that looks similar to one of the sources originally used and it is under the library Biodiversity Heritage Library and thus it is likely a valid source. Once again, though only a portion of the already small article includes facts about the Platanus racemosa, it aligns with the descriptions and cultivation areas given in the other sources I found. It is a secondary source.
 * Peattie, Donald Culross, and Paul Landacre. A Natural History of Western Trees. 1950, https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=LfH16XDaVSkC&oi=fnd&pg=PR7&ots=bhFB1co8T5&sig=RRhpyTFV7YBnva1CLfn-G5U3qd8#v=onepage&q=Platanus%20racemosa&f=false
 * As this is a book from an individual source and one that I found through Google Scholars, so it should be a reliable source. Once again, the book's focus is not on Western sycamores but does go into depth about them and includes details not in the other sources that I thought would be helpful to add, adding further notability. This is also a secondary source as it isn't based off of personal experiences.

Ecology (of sorts?) - Here, I'd like to discuss the relations that Platanus racemosas have with other species, including organisms like diseases but also other trees and mulches made from composted trees. It does so in depth, thus providing notability.


 * Effect of Eucalyptus Cladocalyx Mulch on Establishment of California Sycamore (Platanus Racemosa). horticultureresearch.net/title.php?a=215.
 * This is an academic journal, so it should be a reliable source, discussing the effects of mulch made from Eucalyptus Cladocalyx trees on Platanus racemosas. I chose it due to the knowledge it provides on the Western sycamore's relationship with other species. It does so in depth, thus providing notability. This is a secondary source as it is an academic journal.
 * Johnson, Matthew G., et al. “Evidence for Genetic Erosion of a California Native Tree, Platanus Racemosa, via Recent, Ongoing Introgressive Hybridization With an Introduced Ornamental Species.” Conservation Genetics, vol. 17, no. 3, Springer Science+Business Media, Jan. 2016, pp. 593–602. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-015-0808-z.
 * As this is a research article with multiple citations, it should be a reliable source. It discusses the effects upon California sycamores as a result of hybridization with another species in great depth, providing notability and a new topic of discussion aside from description. As it is a research study, it is a primary source that also cites from other sources (so both primary and secondary?)
 * Mayorquin, Joey S., et al. “Chemical Management of Invasive Shot Hole Borer and Fusarium Dieback in California Sycamore (Platanus Racemosa) in Southern California.” Plant Disease, vol. 102, no. 7, American Phytopathological Society, July 2018, pp. 1307–15. https://doi.org/10.1094/pdis-10-17-1569-re.
 * This is a research study affiliated with universities (with UC's like UC Davis, Irvine, and Riverside), so it is likely a reliable source. It is a primary source as it is a research study and also one done with significant information provided which offers notability.
