A Theory-Driven Approach to Tree-Ring Standardization: Defining the Biological Trend from Expected Basal Area Increment (2008, background): “…forestinterior trees, this period of ring-width decline normally occurs after the tree has become dominant, and is commonly preceded by one or more periods of growth suppression and release while the tree occupies lower canopy levels (Canham 1990; Fraver and White 2005; Piovesan et al. 2005).”
Disturbance dynamics of old-growth Picea rubens forests of northern Maine (2005, methodology): “Growth releases were detected following the absolute-increase method (Fraver & White 2005).”
Testing the efficacy of tree-ring methods for detecting past disturbances (2018, methodology): “These four methods are: radial-growth averaging (Lorimer and Frelich, 1989; Nowacki and Abrams, 1997), boundary line (Black and Abrams, 2003, 2004), absolute increase (Fraver and White, 2005), and time series (Druckenbrod, 2005; Druckenbrod et al.”
