Equation
As printed (Table 7, Dahurian larch, root row; model form Eq. (18))
Wr = e^β10 · D^β11 · H^β12 · CW^β13; Dahurian larch | Root | -3.3151 | 2.4283 | -0.0932 | 0.4675
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Root biomass = exp(-3.3151 + 2.4283 * ln(D) - 0.0932 * ln(H) + 0.4675 * ln(CD))D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
CD- Crown diameter, m
Dahurian larch, MS-4 (Table 7): W = exp(b0) * D^b1 * H^b2 * CW^b3 where CW is crown width (m), mapped to canonical CD. Crown width range 0.3-2.9 m (Table 2). Stem includes bark; roots exclude fine roots <5 mm. No R2 recorded (adjusted R2 only).
