Article Evaluation

Article 1 to evaluate: Marcescence I believe I can update this article to include more information on two key points. Article 2 to evaluate: Carpinus caroliniana
 * 1) This article provides some information on the pros of Marcescence in some species of plants, yet disadvantages are not listed. I believe there are many issues that may hinder the plants during seasonal changes. Especially during large amounts of snow, ice or sleet. These weather conditions may damage marcescence plants more than normal.
 * 2) I also plan on researching how this trait more or may not have evolved from species migration from varying forms of climate.
 * 1) From our last class, (10/26/17) I found the structure of the leaves surrounding the nut of the muscle tree to be most interesting. This article provides no information in regard to the structure of these leaves, or how they enhance the spread of the nuts/seeds or fruits. I would like to enhance this article by researching and adding this information.
