Equation

As printed (Table 5, model 1)

B̂i = 0.09206 * D^2.5417

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

Aboveground biomass = 0.09206 * D^2.5417
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm

The authors say it can also be used for Q. resinosa (p. 8). R2adj 0.955. Total aboveground biomass (stem, branches, foliage). No back-transformation correction factor is stated, none applied.
