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

Climate change and plant regeneration from seed (2011, background): “With earlier springs, exposure of flower buds to late-season frosts may reduce production of seeds (Kudo & Hirao, 2006; Inouye, 2008).”
Intraseasonal climate and habitat‐specific variability controls the flowering phenology of high alpine plant species (2010, background): “Unlike Kudo & Hirao (2006) we did not observe the total snowmelt gradient occurring at the study area.”
Effects of climate change on phenology, frost damage, and floral abundance of montane wildflowers. (2008, background): “Local influences include topographic variables such as slope and aspect, which affect the accumulation and melting of snowpack (Miller 1982, Kudo and Hirao 2006), and the occurrence of cold air drainage that creates thermal and phenological inver- sions (Lynov 1984).”
