In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Aboveground biomass = 0.04 * DRC^2.408DRC- Root collar / stem base diameter, cm
Dry biomass in kg. Adjusted R2 as printed: 0.83. Saplings only; DRC measured at 5 cm above ground, sapling DRC range 1.1-4.1 cm. Includes leaves.. Fitted on dry-site beech; the paper also gives fresh-biomass and log-transformed variants (not added).
