Equation
As printed (Table 6 (MS-3), Dahurian larch, root row; model form Eq. (14) structure)
Wr = e^β10 · D^β11 · H^β12; Dahurian larch | Root | -3.6977 | 2.8129 | -0.2671
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Root biomass = exp(-3.6977 + 2.8129 * ln(D) - 0.2671 * ln(H))D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
Dahurian larch, additive system MS-3 (Table 6); W = exp(b0) * D^b1 * H^b2 (Eqs. 17 form per Table caption). Ranges and n from Table 2. The b0 column is the exponent of e (W = e^b0 ...), as in Eq. (14). Stem includes bark. Root excludes fine roots <5 mm. No R2 recorded (adjusted R2 only).
