Equation

As printed (Eq. 2, p. 4)

ln(Y) = ln(a) + b ln(X)

In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)

Aboveground biomass = exp(-3.101 + 2.333 * ln(D))

D: Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm

ln(Y) = b0 + b1 ln(DBH), natural log, no correction factor stated in the paper. Aboveground biomass includes foliage and small branches (trunk and crown sections were summed). The paper lists n as 8(10)* (the starred figure counts individual branches treated as units); n_trees is therefore left out and the dbh range is that of Table 1.
