Popis: Douglas-fir has been the most common introduced conifer species in European plantations since 1825. The analysis of the characteristics of the introduced tree species by conducting genetic tests may predict the success of transfer of Douglas-fir seed of different provenances. The projection of the model of provenance test aims at providing information on adaptation to habitat and climate conditions in new ecosystems in Serbia. The original seed of Douglas-fir from North America was used for setting the experiment of different provenances at two sites in Serbia. The first experiment was set in a beech forest (Fagetum moesiacae montanum Jov. 1976) on district cambisol in the area of Juhor mountain in central Serbia, while the second one was set in Tanda near the town of Bor in eastern Serbia on the habitat of Hungarian and Turkey oak (Quercetum frainetto-cerris Rud. 1949) on eutric cambisol. Through the analysis of the anatomical structure of Douglas-fir needles this paper tends to determine whether there are statistically significant differences in the length of transfusion parenchyma of provenances located in different habitats. The important function of parenchyma in needles is the physiological process of water, organic and mineral matter flow. The effects of the sites where the experiments were set on the transfusion parenchyma of needles were determined by statistical analysis.
