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

Exploitation of northern peatlands and biodiversity maintenance: a conflict between economy and ecology (2003, background): “In the temperate and boreal zones, restoration usually aims at reestablishing Sphagnum mosses (Rochefort 2000).”
Spontaneous revegetation of mined peatlands in eastern Canada (2005, background): “Nonetheless, the study of block-cut peatlands may help understand the factors influencing the natural re-establishment of a vegetation cover, particularly Sphagnum carpets, which are essential for restoring ecological functions of bog ecosystems (Rochefort 2000).”
Prospects for fen meadow restoration on severely degraded fens (2010, background): “favourite micro-climate (Rochefort, 2000; Cobbaert et al., 2004; Padilla and Pugnaire, 2006; Groeneveld et al., 2007).”
Habitat requirements for establishment of Sphagnum from spores (2002, background): “Nevertheless, doubts about the role of the Sphagnum spore have caused ecologists to rely on vegetative propagation of sphagna in their attempts to restore severely disturbed mires (e.g. Rochefort 2000).”
