Discolored Definition: change or cause to change to a different, less attractive color
Scorched has a negative connotation and makes you think of a landscape completely destroyed by heat and flame. Discolor has more of a neutral connotation, and makes you think of a landscape mildly affected by warmer weather.

Deter is a synonym of prevent so I would change to "deter" to prevent.

Kablooey:
A fun word to say, and has a positive connotation.  If you were to say the bird population went kablooey, it makes it sound childish and like the bird population went haywire and out of control.

Definition:To be weak
This is a negative connotation. Defenseless  is different from vulnerable because defenseless means to be in a position where where you can´t defend yourself. ]]> 2017-11-13 17:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/suziemperez/qp1zn3zcd03m/wish/206360972 Vulnerable https://padlet.com/suziemperez/qp1zn3zcd03m/wish/206361039 Definition: Susceptible to physical or emotional attack or harm

Synonyms: 
Accessible
Defenseless
Exposed
Liable

If I changed the word vulnerable to accessible, it would have more of a positive connotation. I think this because, when I think of a desert tortoise that is accessible instead of being vulnerable, I feel that the animal can still defend himself but be accessible at the same time. This is why I think that being accessible is a more positive connotation compared to the word vulnerable.

I can use the word kablooey in the magazine, and it gives a positive connotation. If you were to say the bird population went kablooey, that sounds childish and unsure.

Increased would also work. If you were to use that in the article, it wouldn't sound very professional. If you say The bird population increased, it sounds neutral. It doesn't sound as bad as exploded.
