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

Invasive belowground mutualists of woody plants (2014, background): “Cosmopolitan associations appear common in some groups, where a few low-specificity cosmopolitan species are common on invasive plants (Benson and Dawson 2007; Moora et al. 2011; Knapp et al. 2012).”
Life in soil by the actinorhizal root nodule endophyte Frankia. A review (2010, background): “…symbiosis is not obligatory in cases where pure isolate cultures have been obtained from nodules such as Frankia belonging to clusters 1 and 3 (Benson and Dawson 2007), which nodulate genera in the families Betulaceae, Casuarinaceae, Myricaceae, Elaeagnaceae and Rhamnaceae – except Ceanothus.”
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria associated with leguminous and non-leguminous plants (2009, background): “Trees generated from sequence alignments of 16S rDNA, nitrogen fixation and glutamine synthetase genes generally yield three major closely related clades with respect to the nodulated host plants (Benson and Clawson 2007).”
