Equation
As printed (Table 2, model B, stand age 3-10)
Y = a·dbh^b; a = 0.0502, b = 1.5503, r2 = 0.735
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Foliage biomass = 0.0502 * D^1.5503D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
Model B (the authors' recommended general equation): all four stand ages combined (3-10 yr). Fitted in log space (log-linear) and printed as a power law; the paper states no back-transformation correction factor and none is applied. The paper does not print the sampled dbh range. Aboveground biomass is the sum of the above-ground organs as defined by the authors (Yag).
