Abstract: The article addresses the issues of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) production in the Czech Republic (CR). Our analysis shows that the tree species can occupy 149,616-163,713 ha in the CR (with respect to ecological limits set by the Czech legislation). The potential economic effect expressed by the gross yield of forest production might be higher by 27-30 million EUR.yr-1. The results of the analysis support the forest owners' interest to extend Douglas-fir production in the CR, similarly like it has been extended systematically in all European countries where natural conditions allow.
