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

Seasonal differences in tree species influence on soil microbial communities (2013, background): “The unique land use history of Hainich National Park has created a species-rich temperate broadleaf forest that offers the opportunity to study the role of forest diversity in a variety of forest use types in species-poor to species-rich forest patches (Leuschner et al., 2009).”
Tropical tree diversity enhances light capture through crown plasticity and spatial and temporal niche differences (2014, background): “Young plantations differ from mature or secondary forests in many aspects, including structural complexity, soil, and age or trophic structure (Leuschner et al. 2009).”
The relationship between tree species richness, canopy space exploration and productivity in a temperate broad-leaf mixed forest (2013, unknown): “(sycamore maple) (Leuschner et al., 2009).”
