Sumario:In forest management planning it is essential to be able to evaluate standing trees. For this purpose, taper curve functions and ways to estimate quality is needed. This work presents taper curve functions for Common Oak (Quercus robur L.) in Sweden. Data was collected in a two phase inventory, where 100 oaks were measured before and after felling. The data was processed by using ordinary least square regression. Also, quality probabilities for logs along the stems were estimated conditioned a subjectively estimated butt log quality.
