In the present study the height-diameter relationship of Acacia mearnsii was analyzed for three different regions of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, using reforestations with age of eight, nine and ten years, planted with a spacing of 3 x 1.33m. Among the regression models applied was selected PRODAN’s model with a determination coefficient (R²) of 0.98 and a mean standard error (Sxy%) of less than 9%. Analisis of covariance was applied to test parallelism of height-diameter curves of the different stands in the respective regions. The height-diameter relationships showed equal inclination for the different stands of every region which allowed the use of a unique curve to re-estimate the coefficient of intercept for each new observational plot in the respective region.
