Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates (2011, background): “…higher decomposition rates (1) may lead to higher tree mortality rates due to accelerated structural weakening and failure (e.g., Loehle 1988, McCarthy 2001, Larson and Franklin 2010), and (2) may more generally reflect environmental favorability to higher attack rates by other plant enemies.”
Global importance of large‐diameter trees (2018, background): “Changes in climate, disturbance regimes and logging are accelerating the decline of large-diameter trees (e.g., Bennett, McDowell, Allen, & Anderson-Teixeira, 2015; Lindenmayer & Laurence, 2016; Lindenmayer et al., 2012).”
Competition alters tree growth responses to climate at individual and stand scales (2015, unknown): “…0/ 24 /1 6 Fo r pe rs on al u se o nl y. that grew to become larger than the minimum diameter threshold (5 or 15 cm, depending on the subplot) were re-measured at the height of the tags using diameter tape about every 5 years through 2008 (Acker et al. 1998; Larson and Franklin 2010) (Table 2).”
