Equation
As printed (Eqs. (2) and Table 4)
lnWr = a* + b* × lnD + c* × lnH; Table 4, Korean pine, System 2 (D and H): Root | -3.6081 | 2.2338 | 0.1476
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Root biomass = exp(-3.6081 + 2.2338 * ln(D) + 0.1476 * ln(H))D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
Korean pine plantations, System 2 (D and H) of Table 4: ln W = a* + b* ln D + c* ln H, natural logarithm, coefficients as printed (a*, b*, c*). No correction factor is stated in the paper, none applied. n and D/H ranges from Table 2 (sample statistics of the fitted trees). Stem includes bark; roots exclude fine roots <5 mm. No R2 recorded (adjusted R2 only).
