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

Root and shoot competition: a meta‐analysis (2013, methodology): “The abstracts of these were then scrutinized, resulting in 153 articles studying aspects of both root and shoot competition, including the reviews of Wilson (1988) and McPhee & Aarssen (2001).”
Differential genetic influences on competitive effect and response in Arabidopsis thaliana (2005, unknown): “2001; McPhee & Aarssen 2001).”
On the formation of dense understory layers in forests worldwide: consequences and implications for forest dynamics, biodiversity, and succession (2006, background): “Additionally, few experiments use factorial manipulations to disentangle a dense understory layer’s aboveground versus belowground effects and their interactions (McPhee and Aarssen 2001).”
Challenging the tragedy of the commons in root competition: confounding effects of neighbour presence and substrate volume (2007, background): “1990; McConnaughay & Bazzaz 1991, 1992; NeSmith & Duval 1998; McPhee & Aarssen 2001; Holzapfel & Alpert 2003; O’Brien et al .”
Root competition: beyond resource depletion (2006, background): “Many root competition studies use variations on the ‘divided pots technique’ (McPhee & Aarssen 2001), in which barriers divide the soil space in ‘no root competition’ treatments.”
