Description
The Journal of Forest Science states: Wild cherry trees are growing mostly as admixed
and/or scattered trees in our forest stand. However,
there are some stands where the wild cherry is a
stand-forming species. The silvicultural measures
recommended for these stands are not very common
and/or very general ones and therefore the detailed
analysis of its growing capacity and required crown
space was done.
Our data suggests that the wild cherry could be
used as a stand-forming species and auxiliary (help
and clean position) species at the same time. The
height/frequency curve depicts two layers (two
groups belonging to dominant/codominant tree
classes and suppressed tree classes) of wild cherry
trees in the stand. The height periodic increments
for these two groups are statistically significantly
different (p < 0.01) confirming that there is no transition
between these two groups, i.e. suppressed
trees probably never reach the future crop tree
group. The practical meaning of the finding is that
silvicultural operations should not be focused on
these losers. The same is true of the diameter/frequency
curve which basically has the same shape
with two peaks depicting two layers of wild cherry
trees in the stand.
The vertical and horizontal structure analysis also
shows that in middle aged stands wild cherry trees
which are still vital could be suppressed. Their quality
is low but they fulfil their auxiliary role in stands
and therefore they could be kept in the stand for the
nearest future.
