Equations to estimate carbon stock in stems of individual trees ans stands of eucalyptus

The objective of this work was to adjust equations to estimate carbon in the stems of individual eucalyptus trees and carbon stock, by unit of area, in different planting conditions. For that, 532 trees were used to adjust the allometric model of Schumacher and Hall (1933) and 95 permanent plots to adjust equations related to growth and yield models, including the following independent variables: age (I), basal area (B) and site index (S). The analyses showed that the equations adjusted well to the observed data, providing accurate estimates.
