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

Conversion of leaf litter to secondary production by a shredding caddis-fly (2003, methodology): “More information on the study site can be obtained in Graça et al. (2001) and Bärlocher & Graça (2002).”
A conceptual model of litter breakdown in low order streams (2015, unknown): “, 2014) and during the warmer seasons (Graça et al., 2001; Swan and Palmer, 2004; Ferreira et al., 2006b).”
Leaf Breakdown in a Tropical Stream (2006, background): “Furthermore, it could be an indication of the importance of microorganisms in increasing the palatability of leaf detritus for invertebrates (ROSEMOND et al., 1998; GRAÇA et al, 2001).”
Biological Diversity in Headwater Streams (2019, background): “Cross-ecosystem resource subsidies in the forms of leaf litter, seeds, terrestrial invertebrates and others can dominate the basal resource base of such detrital-based streams [20,21].”
Stream microbial ecology (2010, background): “…studies have provided very clear evidence for greater microbial standing stocks (and hence nutrient immobilization) following addition of environmentally realistic quantities of N and P (e.g., Grattan and Suberkropp 2001, Gulis and Suberkropp 2003a, b, Cross et al. 2006, Greenwood et al. 2007).”
