The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Plant ecology's guilty little secret: understanding the dynamics of plant competition (2013, background): “One of the few studies to consider this showed that C flow between Douglas fir and paper birch (via various belowground pathways, including mycorrhizal networks) apparently changed direction several times through the growing season (Philip 2006, as cited in Simard et al. 2012).”
Forest microbiome: diversity, complexity and dynamics. (2016, background): “Networks transport soil water, nitrogen and phosphorus, and carbon provided by tree primary production (Simard et al. 2012).”
Mycorrhizal Networks Facilitate Tree Communication, Learning, and Memory (2018, methodology): “Most of these signals shuttle rapidly within and between the plants—within hours or a few days—and they are of sufficient magnitude to influence plant behaviors such as root foraging, nutrient acquisition, growth, or survival (Simard et al. 2012).”
Biogeographic patterns of microbial association networks in paddy soil within Eastern China (2020, background): “However, negative feedbacks tend to stabilize processes while positive feedbacks conversely enhance ecosystem changes and destabilize the status quo (Simard et al., 2012), it is thus likely that fungal communities in the paddy soils may be more robust to environmental perturbations than bacteria.”
