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

Functional role of microarthropods in soil aggregation (2015, background): “…groups respond differently to agricultural practices in different types of soils 215 and depending on fertilizer additions etc. (see e.g. van Capelle et al., 2012, Roger-216 Estrade et al., 2010, for microarthropods see Ponge et al. 2013), however, closer 217 investigation would be…”
Effect of tillage on earthworms over short- and medium-term in conventional and organic farming (2014, background): “In the current study, anecic earthworm abundances were negligible, which may be caused by a history of continuous mouldboard ploughing (Chan, 2001; Ernst and Emmerling, 2009; Van Capelle et al., 2012) or from soil disturbance during potato harvesting (Curry et al., 2002).”
Intensive agriculture reduces soil biodiversity across Europe (2015, background): “A decline of diversity within soil faunal groups due to intensive land use is most probably related to frequent tillage, which affects soil physical properties (Roger-Estrade et al., 2010) to the disadvantage of many soil organisms (van Capelle et al., 2012).”
Selecting cost effective and policy-relevant biological indicators for European monitoring of soil biodiversity and ecosystem function (2016, background): “In fact the Scheyern site used no-till which 510 might be expected to lead to bigger differences from normally tilled plots than minimum or 511 conservation tillage (van Capelle et al., 2012).”
