B. alnoides stem volume from DBH and height, >50 cm (Table 1)
As printed (Table 1, Diameter class >50 cm)
In this library's units, ready to compute (m³)
Stem volume = 0.255 * (D/100)^2 * HD- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
Class-specific model: use only for trees in the stated DBH class. Non-destructive: volumes of standing trees were summed from laser-rangefinder frustum measurements (stem volume), not felled. The paper states d and h in metres, so published units use m; canonical form divides D (cm) by 100. Adj. R² and SE are printed per class but not stored (adj. R² is not R²). The class bounds are the sampling classes; the paper gives no measured DBH range. The paper also gives biomass = stem volume x wood specific gravity (not a fitted model, not added).

all the parameters were converted into metres, and volume was calculated in cubic metres
n = 75, 25 trees for each diameter class
All the trees were divided into three diameter classes according to their DBH, viz. 10–30, 31–50 and >50 cm
- Trees measured

Shaded: the DBH range the model was fitted on. Other inputs held at the values above.
On every build, the library's form and the paper's own form (in its units) must both give these values within 1%.
| Inputs | Expected | We get | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| D = 60, H = 18 | 1.65 | 1.65 | Computed from the printed form computed from the Table 1 coefficient |
