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

Seed enhancement: getting seeds restoration‐ready (2020, background): “August 2020 Restoration Ecology S271 When agglomeration of multiple seeds per pellet was tested with P. spicata, the treatment improved seedling emergence and plant growth in crusting soils (Madsen et al. 2012).”
Seed and seedling traits affecting critical life stage transitions and recruitment outcomes in dryland grasses (2015, background): “…refocusing trait and restoration species selection to consider germination/emergence processes (described below), developing new seed and soil preparation technologies that overcome these demographic barriers should translate to marked improvements to restoration outcomes (e.g. Madsen et al. 2012).”
Advances in restoration ecology: rising to the challenges of the coming decades (2015, background): “…technologies such as polymer seed coating and embedding seeds in a soil matrix with compounds that are known to assist in promoting germination and plant establishment, while reducing pathogen attack, are also rapidly being developed (Turner et al. 2006, Madsen et al. 2012, Madsen et al. 2014).”
