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

Bryophytes attenuate anthropogenic nitrogen inputs in boreal forests (2011, background): “Bryophytes often occur as dense carpets that form a continuous layer over the soil surface (Lindo & Gonzalez, 2010) which can serve as a significant pool of C and N (Turetsky, 2003; Wardle et al., 2003a), and contribute substantially to net primary productivity in some boreal forests (Harden et…”
Metacommunity diversity depends on connectivity and patch arrangement in heterogeneous habitat networks (2011, methodology): “The use of moss-microarthropod systems (sensu the ‘‘bryosphere’’ Lindo and Gonzalez 2010) has been established in the past decade for addressing ecological theory in community ecology, as the relative body size, generation time and dispersal powers of the populations within these moss systems allow…”
Biocrusts: the living skin of the earth (2018, unknown): “Fortunately this has changed in recent years, and biocrust researchers are now tackling the complexity of interactions in which their constituent organisms are involved (Bowker 2007; Lindo and Gonzalez 2010).”
Traits explain community disassembly and trophic contraction following experimental environmental change (2012, methodology): “Here, we use a bryophyte-microarthropod detrital system (the bryosphere sensu Lindo & Gonzalez, 2010) as a natural model system to experimentally test the effects of combined global change factors on biological communities.”
