As printed (Table 9, Quercus coccolobifolia)

Bt = ΣBi

In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)

Aboveground biomass = (exp(-2.628007) * D^1.884293 * H^0.629242) + (exp(-6.885812) * (D^2 * H)^1.393789) + (exp(-1.998072) * D)
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H
Total tree height, m

Table 1 sample size and ranges for this species. Adjusted R2 (not stored): stem 0.96, branches 0.75, foliage 0.33, total 0.94 (Table 9). The paper spells the species "Q. cocccolobifolia" in Table 9. Total is the sum of the component equations, as the paper defines it.
