The objective of the study was to propose a diametric distribution model for eucalyptus stands subjected to thinning, including the location parameter of the Weibull function. The Weibull function was adjusted to data of 48 permanent plots installed in a thinned stand of a hybrid clone of eucalyptus (Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla), located in the northeast area of the state of Bahia, Brazil. Adherence was evaluated by the Kolmogorov-Smirnorv test. The theoretic redistribution of diameters by class was made through equations that include both linear and non-linear relations between the Weibull function parameters in a future age and the parameters in the present age and with some characteristics of the stand in the present and future age. The equations were analyzed through the adjusted determination coefficient, correlation coefficient and graph analyses of the residues. This system generated accurate and consistent growth estimates per diameter class.
