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

Fine-scale vegetation distribution in a cool temperate peatland (2006, background): “In addition, the interactions between vascular plants and mosses can contribute to the production of different microtopographic features in bogs (Belyea and Clymo 2001; Malmer et al. 2003).”
Mycorrhizal fungi as drivers of ecosystem processes in heathland and boreal forest biomes (2004, background): “In contrast with deep-rooted cyperaceous plants like Eriophorum that have very welldeveloped aerenchyma (Malmer et al. 2003), the shallowrooted Ericaceae lack air channels in their roots and provide no oxygen supply to the anaerobic peat.”
Dynamics or constancy in Sphagnum dominated mire ecosystems? A 40-year study (2002, background): “Reduced growth of Sphagnum mosses may also facilitate the growth of vascular plants (Berendse et al. 2001, Ohlson et al. 2001, Malmer et al. 2003).”
