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

Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “The release of labile DOC from POC degradation by particleassociated microorganisms may not only fuel the microbial loop (198, 273, 274) but also facilitate the priming effect that stimulates the degradation of recalcitrant organic matter (275, 276).”
Dissolved black carbon in aquatic ecosystems (2018, background): “2015), this highly biolabile DBC component could be a contributor to local respired CO2 fluxes and/ or accelerate the remineralization of bulk DOC via “priming” processes during riverine transport (Bianchi 2011).”
Estimating autotrophic respiration in streams using daily metabolism data (2013, background): “This DOC may support HRb directly and may prime the bacterial degradation of more recalcitrant allochthonous organic matter (Bianchi 2011).”
Reviews and syntheses: to the bottom of carbon processing at the seafloor (2017, background): “The transfer of highquality organic matter to deeper sediment layers may prime sediment microbial communities and in this way stimulate degradation of indigenous organic matter (Canfield, 1994; van Nugteren et al., 2009a, Bianchi, 2011; Hannadis and Aller, 2017).”
