Hypothesis Testing
Find a scholarly scientific journal article located within ProQuest that is related to the field of environmental science (this should be different than the paper chosen for your Week One discussion). First, describe the hypotheses being tested by the researchers? Does the methodology properly test all of the hypotheses presented? Additionally, discuss whether the results support or refute these hypotheses?
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Cite any sources in APA format.
