Equation

As printed (Table 5, stem merchantable wood volume under bark, Model 2)

Y = 8.34 × 10−6 × (DBH2 × Ht)1.1470

In this library's units, ready to compute (m³)

Stem volume = 8.34e-06 * (D^2 * H)^1.147
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H
Total tree height, m

Model 2 (DBH2 x Ht) was the best of the three models by AIC and BIC. Volume is merchantable wood under bark (stem or branches down to a 15 cm top diameter over bark), in m3. No correction factor is stated. Exponent printed as 1.1470 in the table; entered as 1.147. Stem part only.
