Option 1

 * Article title
 * Lichen


 * Article Evaluation
 * Class B, completeness score of 62. Noticed it could use some work for lichens as a pioneer species and primary succession.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Pioneer Species


 * Article Evaluation
 * Class S, with a completeness score of 45. Could use improvement overall, and could include the importance of pioneer species after disasters.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Restoration Ecology


 * Article Evaluation
 * Class B, with a completeness score of 62. Could use a little improvement but could also include the use of lichens/mosses/fungi as part of restoration ecology.


 * Sources
 * Rosentreter, R. (2020). Biocrust lichen and moss species most suitable for restoration projects Restoration Ecology, 28(S2), S67–S74. https://doi.org/10.1111/rec.13082

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Gametophyte


 * Article Evaluation
 * Class S, starting class with a completeness score of 44. Could include a diagram of the life cycle and the alternation of generations. And some other small improvements that could be made to a starting article.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Sporophyte


 * Article Evaluation
 * Class S, also a starting class with a completeness score of 35. Could use overall improvement, maybe include a diagram of the alternation of generations. Could also use some more citations.
