# Larix cajanderi, Magadan Oblast, foliage biomass from DBH (Table 5)

Foliage biomass equation for Larix cajanderi, Russia, from Delcourt & Veraverbeke 2022. 43 trees, DBH 3.9–52.8 cm. Listed on Tree Allometrics, a free library of tree allometric equations, each quoted from the source that published it.

## Equation

As printed in Delcourt & Veraverbeke 2022 (Table 5):

> Magadan Oblast Foliage 3.9–52.8 43 0.016 0.006 1.835 0.130 2.601; Y = a × DBH^b, Y in kg dry weight, DBH in cm

In this library's units, ready to compute (foliage biomass in kg):

```
Foliage biomass = 0.016 * D^1.835
```

Inputs: D = Diameter at breast height (1.3 m) (cm).
The source's own form: 0.016 * DBH^1.835, with DBH in cm; output in kg.

A missing fit statistic is one the source doesn't state, or that we haven't recorded; it is never estimated. Outside the stated DBH range or region, the equation is an extrapolation.

**Our note:** Coefficients as printed in Table 5 (3 decimals); no log back-transform because fitted by weighted nonlinear regression.

## Checks this equation passes

On every build, the library's form and the source's own form (in its units) must both give these values within 1%.

| Inputs | Expected | We get | From |
