General comments on format
There is no set format for this glossary as the terms come from a wide variety of fields (for example: biology, chemistry, engineering, or sociology). It should probably start with the definition itself -- use the Definition template

Some other recommended sections (where applicable) may be
 * Importance and/or Purpose,
 * Features,
 * Standards and/or Typical values,
 * Example(s),
 * See also (linked to related terms), and
 * Links.

Feel free to reuse information that is available under a CC-By-SA or CC-BY license, such as
 * AP Environmental Science, a Connexions resource.
 * Environmental Science, a Monterey Institute resource.

When your entry reuses information from another source, be sure to properly attribute that source(s). For an entry showing attribution, see Biosphere.
