Option 1

 * Article title
 * Ecological competence


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article does not have any sources, nor does it have very much information. This article could be improved by adding peer reviewed sources as well as adding more information on the topic, such as in what view we are looking at ecological competence. The definition provided is one that relates to microbiology, but it appears that there could be more than one way to view ecological competence. I would add in information about another use of ecological competence, which relates more to the human perception of ecosystems.

 * Mirzaeva, N. (2019). THEORY AND PRACTICE OF ECOLOGICAL COMPETENCE IN STUDENTS. Central Asian Journal of Education, 3(1), 66-97.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Gallery forests


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article provides a good definition of what a gallery forest is, as well as some of the things going on with them. I would add in some information about why they are important by providing some examples of mammals that live in this ecosystem. The sources provided have enough information to give the reader a good idea of what a gallery forest is.
