Picea glauca / Foliage biomass
Canadian national equation, white spruce, dbh only (foliage; Table 3)
© Douglas Goldman · CC BY-SA · iNaturalistAs printed (Eq. 2)
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Foliage biomass = 0.1601 * D^1.467D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
Foliage is leaves and twigs. r2 is the adjusted R² (AdjRSq) of this compartment in Table 5. Fitted on the original scale (weighted nonlinear seemingly unrelated regression), so there is no back-transform correction. Dead branches, cones and fruits are not part of aboveground biomass in this work (Materials). Stand type was not always recorded. Ung, Bernier & Guo (2008) later revised parameters for some species with British Columbia data; not used here.

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 = 20 | 13 | 13 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form at dbh = 20 cm |
