Populus tremuloides Leaves LLRC 2.255 9.5353 0.8919 1.1365 0.854 (columns: ln(β), β, α, CF, RMSE, R2); y = βx^α + ε (Eq. 2); y = βx^α × ε (Eq. 4), ε = e^(MSE/2) (Eq. 5)
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Foliage biomass = 9.5353 * 1.1365 * (0.785398163397448 * D30^2)^0.8919 / 1000D30- Stem diameter at 30 cm, cm
Paper's predictor is cross-sectional area (cm2) of the stem(s) at 0.3 m; converted here to D30 as pi/4 * D30^2 (pi written as 0.785398163397448 * ...), so for multi-stemmed trees D30 is the equivalent diameter of the summed cross-sectional area. Paper output is in g dry mass; canonical form divides by 1000. LLRC correction factor applied as printed in the CF column. Fit range of the predictor is not stated, so none is given.
