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

Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems in the U.S. Corn Belt (2007, methodology): “Combining experimental farm data with wholefarm simulations has been used successfully in studying nutrient flows in grassland agriculture, and appears to be a powerful and cost-effective approach for evaluating, refining, and transferring production management systems to commercial production (Rotz”
Economics and Energy of Ethanol Production from Alfalfa, Corn, and Switchgrass in the Upper Midwest, USA (2008, background): “IFSM has been shown to successfully predict both N leaching [34] and erosion [37].”
Farm-scale nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur balances and use efficiencies on Australian dairy farms (2012, background): “Nitrogen, unlike P is not significantly buffered by soils, and where N is applied in high concentrations such as in dung, urine or fertiliser, losses through volatilisation, denitrification, runoff and leaching can be high (Rotz et al. 2005).”
Reconsidering Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems in North America (2007, background): “While simulation models could be an important first step in exploring climatic, edaphic and management scenarios and could be useful in determining ‘‘best-bet’’ integrated systems (Kingwell and Pannell, 1987; Rotz et al., 2005), the complexities of integrated systems might limit the reliability of m”
