Equation

As printed (Table 9, Quercus sideroxyla)

Bf = exp (– 2.988285) × Dn^1.613082 × At^1.16314

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

Stem biomass = exp(-2.988285) * D^1.613082 * H^1.16314
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 0.97, branches 0.96, foliage 0.91, total 0.99 (Table 9).
