This contribution summarizes the main results of the repeated Landscape inventory CzechTerra, with the surveys conducted in 2008/2009 (CZT 2009) and 2014/2015 (CZT 2015). It is a multisource inventory performed in randomized 7×7 km grid of 1599 localities that statistically represent the Czech Republic. Areas of land use categories estimated using raster analysis of aerial photos reached 35.6 % for forest land and 7.3 % for close-to-nature elements. The repeated inventory CZT 2015 with inventory period 5.757 years did not show statistically significant changes in areas. Tree species composition is dominated by Norway spruce with 42.6 %, share of broadleaved species is 40.6 %. Growing stock estimated by CZT 2015 reached 917 mil. m3 as compared to 853 mil. m3 in CZT 2009. Average growing stock increased from 303 m3/ha in CZT 2009 to 329 m3/ha in CZT 2015. Total current increment estimated from the measured data reached 28.7 mil. m3/year, i. e., 10.3 m3/ha/year. The consecutive estimates of growing stock and current increment permits assessment of real size of harvested wood volume, which reached 17.6 mil. m3/year. Combining inventory data and mathematical models of stem shape, stem quality and cutting algorithms gives potential assortment output and its financial value. Standing dead tree and lying deadwood volume reached in average 5.2 and 5.5 m3/ha, respectively. Carbon content in aboveground biomass is in average 113 t/ha, which is dominated by living trees with 111 t/ha. Data on tree regeneration from repeated inventory indicate increasing share of broadleaves, which reached almost 62 %. This is significantly more than their share in stands regardless age. Game damage affects 8.1 % of growing stock volume, for Norway spruce it is 15 %. The full set of results is available at www.czechterra.cz.
