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

Patterns in intraspecific variation in root traits are species‐specific along an elevation gradient (2020, background): “We hypothesised that SRL would increase with elevation because this would enhance resource uptake (Freschet & Roumet, 2017) on colder sites with slower nutrient cycling and lower A cc ep te d A rt ic le This article is protected by copyright.”
Climate, soil and plant functional types as drivers of global fine‐root trait variation (2017, background): “While recent studies (e.g. McCormack et al. 2015) have advocated the use of more refined root sampling schemes, fine-roots ≤2 mm form the bulk of fine-root trait data available at present and show similar patterns to roots of the first three-orders only (Freschet & Roumet 2017).”
Frontiers in root ecology: recent advances and future challenges (2018, background): “Recent efforts have been made to advance our knowledge in root ecology, with several authors advocating for more standardized procedures that allow researchers to compare roots with similar functions across species and environments (McCormack et al. 2015; Freschet and Roumet 2017).”
