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

Novel ecosystems resulting from landscape transformation create dilemmas for modern conservation practice (2008, background): “In Australia, tall closed forest and open-woodland are distinctly different vegetation types characterized by marked differences in tree height, tree spacing, length of boles, canopy development and spacing as well as a raft of other features (Specht & Specht 1999).”
Reproductive biology of Australian acacias: important mediator of invasiveness? (2011, background): “…for long dormancy; stimulation of germination by heat and/or smoke; seed dispersal and burial by ants; and the ability to resprout (Berg, 1975; Bell et al., 1993; Specht & Specht, 1999), all of which are likely essential for the persistence and invasive success of Australian acacias (see Fig.”
How common are invasion-induced ecosystem impacts? (2011, background): “Research on Australian sclerophyllous and heath vegetation has also shown phosphorus to be the major limiting nutrient (Beadle 1966; Specht and Specht 1999) and its enhancement a trigger to establishment and growth of invaders (Cale and Hobbs 1991).”
Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change (2010, background): “These included species of bats, rodents, birds and Indo-Malaysian plants (Breed and Ford 2007; Churchill 1998; Specht and Specht 1999).”
