Using The Ryerson Library Resource And For Future References

Background 1. I think the paper’s citation was given instead of a posted copy so students have practice in finding academic papers using the Ryerson Library resource and for future references. 2. Due to copyright laws, permission is required for public use of copyright protected information. Therefore, Ryerson Library was granted that permission for a wider audience. 3. Plagiarism is the act of taking someone else’s words or ideas and claiming it as your own. Also, using someone else’s work without crediting the source is considered as plagiarism. 4. Plagiarism carries heavy penalties such as: receiving 0 mark on project, failing the course, suspension or expulsion. Abstract 1. The purpose of abstract is to give a clear and concise†¦show more content†¦Elevated CO2 increased net photosynthesis in elevated and current Tsoil. Elevated Tsoil increased net photosynthesis in elevated CO2 but decreased in ambient CO2. 5. The authors don’t cite any other works in the abstract because the abstract summarises their entire experiment and what they hypothesized and found. 6. No, it’s not a normal practice to include other studies in the abstract because abstracts give a summary of what the experiment is about and what will be concluded. Including citations will take the focus off of the author’s experiment. 7. Abstracts are generally 150-200 words. Introduction 1. Literary review provides background information to give the reader general knowledge about the topic. This information gradually leads into specific issues that will be presented later in the introduction. 2. The authors are trying to determine how elevated Tsoil and elevated CO2 will affect the physiological responses of shade-tolerant species in light conditions. Also, how elevated CO2 and high light treatment affect physiological traits of shade-tolerant plants. 3. How does elevated Tsoil and elevated CO2 affect the physiological responses of shade-tolerant plants is the general research question of these researchers. 4. They hypothesized that net photosynthesis will increase due to elevated CO2 and elevated Tsoil. 5. In the literary review, statements that require citations include statements that
