As printed (Table 3)

Mauritiella AGB Hstem . 2.8662 0.972 18 8.21

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

Aboveground biomass = 2.8662 * Hstem
Hstem
Palm stem height, ground to the lowest leaf, m

Clustered wetland palm; Hstem = stem height to the base of the lowest leaf (m), fitted range 3.5–20.6 m. Linear model, no log correction.
