Equation
As printed (Table 2)
DGH9 0.071 (D²GH)^0.973
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Aboveground biomass = 0.071 * (D^2 * rho * H)^0.973D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
rho- Wood density (oven-dry mass / green volume), g/cm³
H- Total tree height, m
Fitted by OLS on ln data; Table 2 reports fit after back-transformation with the REst ratio-estimator correction. The paper does not say explicitly whether that factor is folded into the printed power-form coefficient; used as printed. D at 1.3 m or 20 cm above buttress. G (wood density) in g/cm3.
