Abstract

Wild cherry (Prunus avium L.) is one of the main valuable temperate broadleaved species from Europe considering the market appreciation of their timber. In the present study we analyzed the growth performance of different wild cherry clones under different management treatments. A field trial was settled in Bosques Naturales S.A. Sendelleforests (Arzua, Galicia, NW Spain) with a multifactorial design to analyze the effect of clones (4 clones), pruning intensity (33 % and 50 % of total height) and fertilization (3 treatments). It was monitored for 8 years. Clone was found out to be the most important variable in this study while tree growth was neither significantly affected by the pruning intensity nor the fertilization treatments. Clone selection is highlighted as a key issue in wild cherry commercial planted forests for timber production and the selected C-15 clone shows an excellent field performance compared to other clones based on the trial and the literature, reaching a DBH of 14 cm after eight years.

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Silvae Genetica, and although the journal is classified in the quartile Q3 (Agencia WoS (JCR)), its regional focus and specialization in Genetics & Heredity, give it significant recognition in a specific niche of scientific knowledge at an international level.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-20:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 2 (PlumX).
