TOME, Margarida; RIBEIRO, Fernanda  and  FAIAS, Sónia. Height-Diameter Relationship for Eucalyptus globulus Labill. in Portugal . Silva Lus. [online]. 2007, vol.15, n.1, pp.41-55. ISSN 0870-6352.

Tree height is an important variable for determining the tree volume and the stand volume. Sometimes tree height is not measured in the field, and for predicting it an equation is used as a function of tree diameter and other stand variables. The existing equations that express hypsometric relationships have some limitations at the application level. In this work, a general equation has been developed with data that represent all the area of eucalyptus plantations in Portugal.

Keywords : Eucalyptus globulus Labill; general hypsometric relationship.
