• Drought-induced decline and mortality of silver fir differ among three sites in Southern France (2013, methodology): “For instance, tree mortality can be predicted by models using radial growth data with a respectable performance (Bigler and Bugmann 2003; Cailleret 2011).”
• Detecting evidence for CO2 fertilization from tree ring studies: The potential role of sampling biases (2012, background): “For uncompromised analysis of trends in tree rings, those tree ring series showing recent growth declines indicative of increased mortality risks [cf. Bigler and Bugmann, 2003; Pedersen, 1998] should be excluded from analysis.”
• Many ways to die – partitioning tree mortality dynamics in a near‐natural mixed deciduous forest (2013, background): “…temperate tree species in different regions and sites confirmed the general assumptions that survival rates are higher with increased growth, reduced competition and increased size (e.g. Fridman & Ståhl 2001; Bigler & Bugmann 2003; Wunder et al. 2007; Das et al. 2008; Lines, Coomes & Purves 2010).”
• Increased early growth rates decrease longevities of conifers in subalpine forests (2009, unknown): “(Bigler and Bugmann 2003).”
• The relationship between tree growth patterns and likelihood of mortality: a study of two tree species in the Sierra Nevada (2007, background): “Furthermore, Bigler and Bugmann (2003) demonstrated that the addition of a linear growth trend can significantly improve prediction.”
• Growth, mortality, and morphological response of European beech and downy oak along a light gradient in sub-Mediterranean forest (2005, background): “Among these few studies, most have been conducted in temperate areas in North America or in Europe (Pacala et al. 1996; Wyckoff and Clark 2002; Bigler and Bugmann 2003).”
• 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).”
• Drought as an Inciting Mortality Factor in Scots Pine Stands of the Valais, Switzerland (2006, background): “The living trees were selected that had similar DBH, competition, and microsite conditions as the dead trees (compare Bigler and Bugmann 2003).”
• Extreme drought alters competitive dominance within and between tree species in a mixed forest stand (2013, background): “Basal area increment (BAI) is well established in forest ecology as measure of tree growth which can be used to study the vigour of individual trees and populations (Biondi 1999; Bigler & Bugmann 2003; Biondi & Qeadan 2008b).”
