Abstract

Because of its many uses, including for paper, cellulose, and energy production, the Eucalyptus is an economically important tree. The estimate of eucalyptus total height is useful for forest handling and predicting production. The objective of this work is to study the relation between a eucalyptus tree's diameter at breast height (DBH) and age to its total height. Based on this data, we present decision systems developed using fuzzy logic and neuro-fuzzy systems. Both proposed models are compared with classical mathematical models; the neuro-fuzzy system has the highest accuracy and precision.
