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

Multi-scale impacts of crested wheatgrass invasion in mixed-grass prairie (2005, background): “In greenhouse trials by Levang-Brilz and Biondini (2002) , the depth, biomass, water and nitrogen use efficiencies of CWG roots were similar to C4 tall-grasses, and greater than native C3 midgrasses and C4 short-grasses.”
Effects of plant species richness and evenness on soil microbial community diversity and function (2010, background): “Root morphologies and nutrient foraging strategies vary widely among grassland species (e.g. Levang-Brilz and Biondini 2003; Mommer et al. 2010).”
Structural and functional diversity of soil bacterial and fungal communities following woody plant encroachment in the southern Great Plains. (2010, background): “The plant community is comprised of four major functional groups, each differing in growth form, phenology, productivity (Ansley et al., 2004), and tissue chemistry (Levang-Brilz and Biondini, 2003).”
EVOLUTIONARY PATTERNS AND BIOGEOCHEMICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ANGIOSPERM ROOT TRAITS (2012, unknown): “Other researchers are conducting work with roots of herbaceous annuals and perennials (Grime et al. 1997; Craine et al. 2002; Levang-Brilz and Biondini 2003; Tjoelker et al. 2005; Roumet et al. 2006; Kembel and Cahill 2011), and it may eventually be possible to synthesize data more broadly.”
