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

The Palaearctic steppe biome: a new synthesis (2016, background): “Many of these are now affected by the twin threats of intensification in favourable sites such as lowlands, and abandonment in marginal sites with shallow soils or at high altitudes (Dengler et al. 2014; Habel et al. 2013).”
Biodiversity of Palaearctic grasslands: a synthesis (2014, background): “Conservation of lowland seminatural grasslands in the UK: a review of botanical monitoring results from agrienvironment schemes.”
Livestock Type is More Crucial Than Grazing Intensity: Traditional Cattle and Sheep Grazing in Short‐Grass Steppes (2018, positive): “Thus, the recovery of local grassland biodiversity became a top priority both in scientific research and practice (Habel et al., 2013).”
Asymmetrical responses of forest and “beyond edge” arthropod communities across a forest–grassland ecotone (2014, positive): “Consequently, these habitats are essential for maintaining present levels of biodiversity (Svenning 2002; Van Swaay 2002; Habel et al. 2013).”
