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

Biogeographic patterns of microbial association networks in paddy soil within Eastern China (2020, background): “Although the network hub is missing in many network studies (Barber� an et al., 2012; Faust et al., 2012; Deng et al., 2016; Ma et al., 2016; Shi et al., 2016), a number of network hubs in the fungal and diazotrophic networks, as well as the bacteria-fungi network, were identified (Tables 2 and S6).”
Agricultural intensification reduces microbial network complexity and the abundance of keystone taxa in roots (2018, background): “15 environments [40, 79, 80], reports on keystone taxa in the root microbiome are very limited.”
Soil Bacterial and Fungal Response to Wildfires in the Canadian Boreal Forest Across a Burn Severity Gradient (2019, positive): “We determined standard network characterization metrics (Guimera and Amaral, 2005; Olesen et al., 2007; Zhou et al., 2010; Deng et al., 2012; Shi et al., 2016).”
