Talk:Flooded Soils
wow this is looking nice! Methaneous organisms needs to be changes to methanogens. You also need to add the fermenting organisms as a category. Also include some of the broader changes with flooding: gleying, and what happens when oxygen becomes available again. Kate Scow 02:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

are the plants linked to microbes now?-david Dtla 01:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
It's better, bur organize the information (one main idea per paragraph). Irina C 01:12, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
im doing effects on life, plants, microorganisms? -david ````Dtla 00:10, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
The section called "Effects on life" seems out of place. Also, if you want to talk about effects on plants, you need to link it to microbes (i.e. what do microbes to in flooded soils that would effect plants). As it is now, there is no connection to plants. Make sure you site your sources and do not just copy and paste text as you did with at least some of the phrases in your section. You have to paraphrase AND cite the source of the information. Your section on microorganisms is ok but seems try to make it more clear and make sure it doesn't contain info that is covered elsewhere on the page (compare to "electron tower" section) Irina C 00:29, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
ok-david
is what im doing ok? a i supposed to make my own page? -david ````Dtla 06:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
It looks good. You guys need more detail in some sections. Have you decided among yourselves how to split up the work? Irina C 06:42, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
I erased your "edits and dates" section. We don't need this since we can see who did what and when in the history tab.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON ADDING COMMENTS TO DISCUSSION PAGE
- Add new comments to the TOP of the discussion page, so that we have newest comments first.
- After your comment, type four tilde marks ( ~~~~ ). This displays the time and your user name, so that we can tell who left the comment and when.
- At the end of your comment, type four hyphens "----" to create a line to separate your comment from the next commentator.
- Make a note on this page below the comment after you've addressed it. Add the ( ~~~~ ) after your note so we know who addressed the comment. Your note could look something like .. "Good idea, we fixed it.Irina C 23:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)" or "I don't think we need to do this because.. Irina C 23:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)"

I would suggest slightly different organization.
Maybe under flooded soils could be....
- Overall definition and description of phenomenon of flooded soils. You can put a figure here. You can also say that this type of phenomenon can also be observed in other types of situations.....aggregates and pollutant plumes in groundwater
- Chemical changes : Make sure you focus this on redox. organize these by changes in dominant electron acceptors being used and make the connection to electron tower. ALso include fate of products generated during electron acceptor untilization. e.g. methane migrates up. Sulfides.....
- Changes in microbial community composition
- Changes when the flooded soil is unflooded and oxygen comes in
Maybe something else??
- You don't need to have a list of topics because that is automatically created for you at the top of the page.
- Please put back the text that says "crated by the students of Kate Scow" at the bottom of the template page
- You don't need to sign your names at the end. We can see who did what by looking at the history of the page. Also, Laleh's name is mentioned but it doesn't look like she's logged in. Please make sure you log in and make edits through your own account, since otherwise we can't tell who did what.
