This article is about the falling apart of western rangelands over time. It discusses the steps that farmers have been taking in order to revive the land so that it becomes healthy and usable again.
I would like to do my project about desert based ecosystems, so studying about a more drought ridden area would be good.

This article is about a parasite in cows that is resistant to almost all known medicines. This parasite is similar to one that can infect and harm humans, so it is dangerous for people to eat the animals.
This relates a bit to my life because of the fact that I am vegan. Part of the reason that I am vegan is because there are so many diseases passes from animals to humans do to bad animal care and hormones put into their food.

This article is about a new, environmentally friendly spray, that farmers can use on their plants to help them survive from droughts. This article talks about the research that Van Andel Research Institute has been doing on the subject and how it can help prolong the lives of several plants.
This goes along with my topic because San Diego typically goes for long periods of time without rain, so this spray would probably be used on local plants.
