This work was conducted with a view to future use of the information In a simulation system to predict the effects of silvicultural treatments on Douglas fir stands stem and branches were analysed In all trees and relationships combining branch growth with growth and development of crown and stem were obtained. These relationships give insight into interactions between tree growth and stand dynamics. Among the prediction equations obtained a major one was tested on a further 12 newly felled trees analysed for past bole Increments and crown development reconstruction. This suggested the use of a scaling factor to correct a possible underestimation. Douglas-flr Pseudotsuga menzesli I crown stem growth and development silviculture Résumé Crolssance et développement Individuals du douglas en peuplement. Applications à la simulation en sylviculture. La croissance et le développement individuals du douglas Pseudotsuga menziesll Mirb Franco ont été étudiés à partir d un óchantillon de 44 arbres abattus dans le Nord-Est de la France en tenant compte de differentes conditions de peuplement. Ce travail a été effectud dans le cadre d une exploitation ultérieure des résultats par un systdme de stimulation de fagon à prddire les effets de traitements syvicoles sur les peuplements de douglas.
