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

Altitudinal variation of secondary metabolites in flowering heads of the Asteraceae: trends and causes (2010, background): “The decrease of species with altitude does not seem to be linear; indeed highest diversity was reported for mid-altitudes in a number of reports (Rahbek, 1995, 1997; Wang et al., 2002).”
EcoVeg: a new approach to vegetation description and classification (2014, background): “Diagnostic growth forms also reflect certain climatic and site conditions and can be identified using conceptual and analytical techniques, including their relation to global climatic factors (e.g., Cramer 1997, Box 2002, Wang et al. 2003).”
Ecogeographical land characterization maps as a tool for assessing plant adaptation and their implications in agrobiodiversity studies (2012, methodology): “A univariate general linear model (GLM) analysis was performed for each species considering seed weight as the dependent variable and quartile and BCI classes as predictors.”
