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

Legumes in the reclamation of marginal soils, from cultivar and inoculant selection to transgenic approaches (2011, background): “A low-cost revegetation approach has been to inoculate different native leguminous shrubs and trees with elite strains of native rhizobia in order to re-establish plant–soil interactions in degraded lands (Thrall et al. 2005).”
Inoculation with a Native Soil Community Advances Succession in a Grassland Restoration (2012, background): “Australian Acacia seedlings have been shown to increase establishment by 118% with inoculation of native strains of bacteria (Thrall et al. 2005).”
Maximizing Seed Resources for Restoration in an Uncertain Future (2016, background): “In addition, the role of symbiotic and beneficial microorganisms in restoration remains largely untested despite evidence suggesting that the addition of symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria can be highly beneficial for some species (Thrall et al. 2005).”
Sources of inocula influence mycorrhizal colonization of plants in restoration projects: a meta‐analysis (2015, background): “Thus, direct intervention may be required to restore the abundance and function of mycorrhizal fungi in degraded ecosystems (Thrall et al. 2005; Bozzolo & Lipson 2013).”
