Equation
As printed (Table 1)
Mixed species 122 ln(TAGB) = c + αln(DBH) c −1.201 ... α 2.196 ... 0.963 0.335 30.32 1.058
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Aboveground biomass = 1.058 * exp(-1.201 + 2.196 * ln(D))D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
ln-ln OLS; the authors back-transform with the correction factor (CF) listed in Table 1, which is applied here. Intercepts are negative in the printed table (checked on the rendered page; text extraction drops the sign). DBH measured at 1.30 m or above buttresses.
