A Theory-Driven Approach to Tree-Ring Standardization: Defining the Biological Trend from Expected Basal Area Increment (2008, background): “…have shown that another measure of radial tree growth, i.e. annual basal area increment, or ring area (LeBlanc 1990), is well suited to represent individual and stand-level changes (LeBlanc and Foster 1992; Bigler and Bugmann 2003; Piovesan et al. 2008; Voelker et al. 2008; Weber et al. 2008).”
Drought induced decline could portend widespread pine mortality at the xeric ecotone in managed mediterranean pine-oak woodlands (2014, background): “The sizedependent mortality risk of trees increases under more resource stressful conditions when stand competition is intense (Zahner et al., 1989; Voelker et al., 2008; Luo and Chen, 2011) and within stands the trees with a higher likelihood to die are generally those with slow growth and negative”
Emergent insects, pathogens and drought shape changing patterns in oak decline in North America and Europe (2015, background): “…(i.e. amount of mortality assessed relative to the amount of red oak present), these poor quality sites did not necessarily experience proportionately more red oak mortality than higher quality sites; there were simply more red oaks growing on them (Kabrick et al., 2008; Voelker et al., 2008).”
