Description of the diameter distribution of agroforest systems for using the function Weibull and hyperbolic

The objectives of this study were to adjust and to evaluate different forms of the Weibull and hyperbolic function to describe the diameter structure of agroforestry system. The forestry component was established with clones of eucalyptus hybrids in the 10 x 4 m spacing, aimed at producing wood for electric power and sawmill. Annual crops as rice and soybeans were planted on the interows in the first year and soybean in the second year. Pastures with Brachiaria were formed in the following year and with the purpose of fattening beef cattle.It was tested the two functions with three parameters, two parameters, and parameter of location as the minimum diameter, and right truncated. Adhesion of function of the data was assessed by Kolmogorov-Smirnorv test. The functions were also evaluated by the Sum of Deviations Squares (SDS) and by graph analysis among the observed and predicted values. The results indicate the possibility of using those functions to describe the diameter distribution of thinned populations.
