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

Evaluation of spatial predictions of site index obtained by parametric and nonparametric methods—A case study of lodgepole pine productivity (2005, background): “It is a mosaic of four natural ecological subregions: Boreal Mixedwood, Lower Foothills, Upper Foothills, and Sub Alpine (Beckingham et al., 1996).”
Evaluation of competition and light estimation indices for predicting diameter growth in mature boreal mixed forests (2007, methodology): “An alternate approach is to stratify the data by ecosites, which are designated based on climate, local topography, soil properties, and indicator species, and exhibit a relatively narrow range of SI [4, 5, 24].”
Understanding Holocene peat accumulation pattern of continental fens in western Canada (2003, unknown): “UPF is within the Upper Foothills vegetation subregion, adjacent to the boundary of the Subalpine subregion (Beckingham et al. 1996).”
EcoVeg: a new approach to vegetation description and classification (2014, background): “…vegetation to topography and soils can be summarized by environmental gradients or a topoedaphic classification based on the primary gradients that determine vegetation patterns (e.g., moisture and nutrients, moisture and elevation; Curtis 1959, Whittaker 1975, Beckingham et al. 1996, Peet 2000).”
