Abstract
An evaluation of numerical integration of taper functions for volume estiamtion in Eucalyptus saligna stands. Results obtained in this study show that numerical integration of variable-form taper functions constructed for Eucalyptus saligna can give volume estimates of comparable accuracy to those provided by volume-ratio equations for the same species. However caution should be exercised when using taper functions to estimate tree volumes as some may be biased. A numerical integration routine based on Romberg integration was written in QuickBasic for numerical integration of the taper functions. The program can be modified and adapted to other non-integrable taper functions for other species. The routine should be useful to those who do not have easy access to standard numerical analysis packages.
