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

Traits related to species persistence and dispersal explain changes in plant communities subjected to habitat loss (2012, result): “While such information was not possible to obtain for our large study area, this approach might have revealed stronger effects of isolation (e.g. Kirmer et al., 2008).”
Lucerne‐dominated fields recover native grass diversity without intensive management actions (2011, background): “The full recovery of loess grasslands requires more time and ⁄or should be facilitated by technical introduction of some of the target species (Kirmer et al. 2008; Kiehl et al. 2010).”
Spontaneous succession in limestone quarries as an effective restoration tool for endangered arthropods and plants (2010, result): “This was inconsistent with some previous studies (Novak &Konvicka 2006; Kirmer et al. 2008) and the inconsistency may perhaps be attributed to a high overall connectivity of xeric grasslands in the Bohemian Karst, especially so a few decades ago, when the quarries were being abandoned (Lozek et al.…”
MINI‐REVIEW: Habitat analogues for reconciliation ecology in urban and industrial environments (2010, background): “Similarly, 64 of 675 plant species found to colonize flooded lignite mines in Germany were classified as threatened (Kirmer et al. 2008), including the rare orchidEpipactris palustris (L.”
