Different taper and volume equations were evaluated to be applied in Douglas fir plantations. For the processes of fitness and validation we worked with information of 180 trees coming from stands owned by the Experimental Forest Center (CEFOR) of the Universidad Austral de Chile. One measure of bias and one of error were used to evaluate the different models in their volume predictions, taper equations were also evaluated in their diameters and heights estimations. Althoug volume equations give the better results, we do not recommend their use consequense of crossing in the estimations.
