<p>The present work was developed in the West of Buenos Aires Province (Argentina) with the objective of adjusting functions of biomass of individual trees, in their different compartments and in the understorey. Stands of <em>Eucalyptus viminalis</em> Labill. were identified, with ages between 4 and 14 years-old. Twenty-one individuals were felled with diameters ranging from 9,2 to 32,5 cm. Simple and multiple regression models were developed and volume, branch leaf and stem biomass were estimated. The best volume equations were based on lineal models and the most adequate behavior was obtained with <em>d<sup>2</sup></em>. To estimate leaf, branch and stem, ln-ln models have been suggested, with diameter and h or only diameter. The leaf biomass presented the weakest adjustment. The distribution of trees biomass agrees with the bibliography. The proportion of crown biomass decreases with age; on the other hand, the proportion of stem biomass increases with age.</p>
