AGRICULTURAL INFLUENCES ON SOIL EROSION RATES IN THE CORN BELT
At the start of the annotated bibliography, you will write a 300-word, 1.5-spaced executive summary distilling down what the take-home message is from the set of articles you read. Following the summary, you will have each annotation, which will be a one paragraph entry (~6sentences) under the bolded full reference for each article you read. References/annotationsshould be in alphabetical order by the first author’s last name.
Formatting requirements include: 12-point Times New Roman font, 1.5 spacing, margins of 1”, and the full article reference bolded above each summary. Leave at least 2 blank lines between eacharticle annotation and the next reference. Please use GSA format for your article citations in the executive summary and the full references above each annotation. This format is common in many earth science publications. Annotations that do not meet basic formatting requirements will receive point deductions, as correct reference formatting is a key component forliterature reviews and reports.
Your final AB must include annotations for 8 peer-reviewed articles. I encourage you to usedatabase tools like GeoRef or Google Scholar to find full-text sources.
