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

Tillage and soil carbon sequestration—What do we really know? (2007, background): “Qin et al. (2005) also examined root density distributions of winter wheat under different tillage systems, and found that no-till resulted in higher root length density in the 0–5 cm layer, but lower root length densities in deeper layers.”
The Role of Mineral Nutrition on Root Growth of Crop Plants (2011, background): “It is well known that roots tend to proliferate in nutrient-enriched soil zones (Drew et al., 1973; Qin et al., 2005).”
Bacterial and Fungal Contributions to Carbon Sequestration in Agroecosystems (2006, background): “…can also be greater due to the greater amount and better quality of SOM in the surface layer of NT systems; the latter being induced by the surface residue layer (Paustian et al., 2000) and the increased root growth in the surface layers of NT systems (Qin et al., 2005; Barzegar et al., 2004).”
Pests, pesticide use and alternative options in European maize production: current status and future prospects (2009, background): “Herbicide use may also be reduced by fertilizer applications in surface or subsurface bands instead of broadcast applications to increase competition of maize against weeds (Riedell et al. 2000; Qin et al. 2005).”
