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

Endozoochorous seed dispersal by cattle and horse in a spatially heterogeneous landscape (2005, background): “Seed dispersal then becomes a serious bottle-neck in restoration management (Verhagen et al. 2001; Pywell et al. 2002).”
Establishment and persistence of target species in newly created calcareous grasslands on former arable fields (2007, unknown): “by mowing without applying fertiliser or by removing the nutrient-rich topsoil (e.g. Marrs 1993; Verhagen et al. 2001).”
Plant colonization windows in a mesic old field succession (2003, background): “Due to degradation of natural habitats, propagule limitation has become increasingly important (Zobel et al. 1998; Verhagen et al. 2001; Halassy 2001; Wiegleb & Felinks 2001).”
Prospects for fen meadow restoration on severely degraded fens (2010, methodology): “Topsoil removal can be an effective method to achieve this goal (Ramseier, 2000; Verhagen et al., 2001; Tallowin and Smith, 2001) and leads also to local rewetting, by bringing the soil surface closer to groundwater level (Ramseier, 2000).”
