• A Theory-Driven Approach to Tree-Ring Standardization: Defining the Biological Trend from Expected Basal Area Increment (2008, background): “Ring area usually outperforms ring width for measuring overall tree growth, as it has been repeatedly shown with regard to tree mortality (Bigler and Bugmann 2003, 2004a, 2004b; Bigler et al. 2004) and competition indices (Bazzaz 1996; Weber et al. 2008).”

• Long-term changes of structure and tree species composition in Dinaric uneven-aged forests: are red deer an important factor? (2010, background): “(Gill 1992a, b; Debeljak et al. 1999; Petit and Lambin 2002; Bigler et al. 2004; van der Maarel 2005).”
• Growth and wood density predict tree mortality in Amazon forests (2008, background): “Slow growing trees are likely to be unhealthy, exhibit physiological stress and be prone to infection or death (van Mantgem et al. 2003; Bigler et al. 2004).”
• The relationship between tree growth patterns and likelihood of mortality: a study of two tree species in the Sierra Nevada (2007, background): “2004), relatively few attempts have been made to incorporate these characteristics when modeling the probability of mortality (Bigler and Bugmann 2003, 2004; Bigler et al. 2004).”
• Competition modulates the adaptation capacity of forests to climatic stress: insights from recent growth decline and death in relict stands of the Mediterranean fir Abies pinsapo (2010, background): “The dendrochronological assessment of radial-growth trends may be useful to identify trees with high probabilities of decline and death (Ogle, Whitham & Cobb 2000; Bigler et al. 2004).”
• Growth patterns and sensitivity to climate predict silver fir decline in the Spanish Pyrenees (2012, background): “Declining Slovenian silver firs showed also decreasing growth trends for about 50 years (Torelli et al. 1999; Bigler et al. 2004).”
• Increasing Drought Sensitivity and Decline of Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica) in the Moroccan Middle Atlas Forests (2011, background): “Climate change may intensify physiological stress on long-lived woody vegetation, occasionally leading to sudden growth reduction and higher mortality rates [13-16].”
