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

Characterization of the structure, dynamics, and productivity of mixed-species stands: review and perspectives (2015, methodology): “Similarly, mean height and standard deviation or variation coefficient of tree height can be used as a straightforward index to assess vertical structure (Barbeito et al. 2009).”
Diversity and equitability ordering profiles applied to study forest structure (2012, background): “…include the need for partitioning into bins (size classes), with the subsequent loss of information and dependency on the subjective choice of bin size (Staudhammer and LeMay, 2001), and also their sensitivity to sample size (Lexerød and Eid, 2006) and plot dimensions (Barbeito et al., 2009).”
