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

Light, earthworms, and soil resources as predictors of diversity of 10 soil invertebrate groups across monocultures of 14 tree species (2016, unknown): “First, higher light availability in the understory can warm understory air, plants and soil (Ritter et al., 2005; Pr (cid:1) evost and Raymond, 2012), potentially increasing the energy available to and utilized by soil invertebrates.”
Adaptation of forest ecosystems to air pollution and climate change: a global assessment on research priorities (2011, unknown): “Improved understanding of N deposition, N leaching, soil acidification and biogeochemical processes in forest stands between forest edges, forest gaps and forest stand interiors may help understanding the stand structure and nutrition interaction (Ritter et al. 2005).”
Canopy effects on vegetation caused by harvesting and regeneration treatments (2010, background): “For example, the amount of diffuse and direct radiation varies within gaps, from the gap centre to the edge, and along N-S and E-W gradients (Canham et al. 1990; Wayne and Bazzaz 1993; Ritter et al. 2005).”
