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

Nonlinear heat effects on African maize as evidenced by historical yield trials (2011, background): “For example, simulation models have been calibrated mainly in temperate systems, do not include all potentially relevant processes, and are dependent on inputs that prescribe cultivar characteristics, management practices, soil properties and initial conditions, all of which are imperfectly know”
Use of the Nonparametric Nearest Neighbor Approach to Estimate Soil Hydraulic Properties (2006, background): “…studies have no particular goal to promote any particular method or data source over others (e.g., Tietje and Tapkenhinrichs, 1993; Kern, 1995; Imam et al., 1999; Cornelis et al., 2001; Gijsman et al., 2003), they simply compare the performance of PTFs available in literature on some specific data.”
Excluding Organic Matter Content from Pedotransfer Predictors of Soil Water Retention (2007, methodology): “Extensive overviews of the recent development and use of PTFs have been given by Timlin et al. (1996), Wösten et al. (2001), Cornelis et al. (2001), Gijsman et al. (2002), and Nemes et al. (2003).”
