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

Facilitation in plant communities: the past, the present, and the future (2007, background): “Clarification of the relationship between interactions and environmental gradients is central for further progress, and necessitates implementation of experiments specifically designed to address this issue.”
Beyond gradual warming: extreme weather events alter flower phenology of European grassland and heath species (2009, background): “Most of these studies used biomass production as a response parameter, however, facilitative neighbor effects are also reported for phenological events in harsh environments (Wipf et al., 2006).”
Climate change and cyclic predator–prey population dynamics in the high Arctic (2009, background): “In the Arctic, a small number of studies has described such effects in plant and limnic communities (Quinlan et al., 2005; Wipf et al., 2006), but before this study community-level consequences have only been put forward as a likely hypothesis for terrestrial vertebrate communities (Callaghan et…”
Shrub expansion in tundra ecosystems: dynamics, impacts and research priorities (2011, background): “competing tundra plants [59, 60] add even greater complexity.”
Phenology, growth, and fecundity of eight subarctic tundra species in response to snowmelt manipulations (2010, background): “The location and set up are described in detail in a previous publication (Wipf et al. 2006).”
