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....

  1. 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
  2. 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.....
  3. Changes in microbial community composition
  4. Changes when the flooded soil is unflooded and oxygen comes in

Maybe something else??
