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): “Several studies have shown that mortality rates are inversely related to radial-growth rates (Wyckoff & Clark 2000; Bigler 2003; vanMantgem et al. 2003).”
Growth, mortality, and morphological response of European beech and downy oak along a light gradient in sub-Mediterranean forest (2005, methodology): “For this purpose, we used the Bayesian method developed by Wyckoff and Clark (2000). The prior density of θ is specified as a beta density:”
Growth-dependent tree mortality models based on tree rings (2003, methodology): “A distinctly different approach is used in individual-based models, which tend to include characteristics such as tree growth rates, size, and competitive status (e.g., Dursky 1997; Dobbertin and Biging 1998; Zhang et al. 1997; Wyckoff and Clark 2000).”
The relationship between growth and mortality for seven co‐occurring tree species in the southern Appalachian Mountains (2002, methodology): “We have developed and compared several statistical methods for estimating probability of mortality from growth rate (Wyckoff & Clark 2000) whose application is now tested for seven important tree species in the southern Appalachian Mountains.”
High‐dimensional coexistence based on individual variation: a synthesis of evidence (2010, methodology): “The survival model is nonparametric, allowing increase in mortality risk with decreasing growth rate (a composite index of vigor; Kobe 1996, Wyckoff and Clark 2000) and with increasing diameter (Platt et al. 1988, Batista et al. 1998, Uriarte et al. 2004) and strong nonlinearities in these…”
Tree mortality in a Pinus sylvestris dominated boreal forest landscape in Vienansalo wilderness, eastern Fennoscandia (2002, background): “Although part of tree mortality is predictable, e.g. on the basis of self-thinning regularities (Westoby 1984) and decreased diameter growth (Wyckoff and Clark 2000), much of the mortality is episodic and irregular and hence diffi cult to predict.”
Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, methodology): “Diameter increment and tree basal area increment, either predicted or measured, are used as a covariate in several mortality equations (Monserud, 1976; Buchman et al., 1983; Hamilton, 1986; Wyckoff and Clark, 2000; Yao et al., 2001; Pretzsch et al., 2002).”
Sapling size influences shade tolerance ranking among southern boreal tree species (2006, methodology): “1995; Kobe 1996; Kobe & Coates 1997), Bayesian methods (Wyckoff & Clark 2000, 2002) and survival analysis (Lin et al .”
Growth patterns and sensitivity to climate predict silver fir decline in the Spanish Pyrenees (2012, background): “Several studies have shown that tree defoliation, mean radial growth and radial growth trends are, to some extent, inversely related (Buchman et al. 1983; Kobe and Coates 1997; Wyckoff and Clark 2000; van Mantgem et al. 2003).”
