 Componentwise bigness on a projective scheme

For a possibly reducible projective scheme, componentwise bigness means that a real Cartier class restricts to a big real divisor on every reduced irreducible component. This specifies the convention needed by positivity arguments that treat all curves. Maximal total section growth alone is weaker: on ${\mathbb{P}}^2⨿{\mathbb{P}}^2$, the bundle $(\mathcal{O}(1),\mathcal{O}(-1))$ has quadratic total growth but negative degree on every line in the second component. Thus its negative curves cannot be confined to finitely many divisors.
