Pseudotsuga menziesii / Foliage biomass
Douglas-fir foliage biomass, simple SUR (D only)
© Danny Steaven · CC BY-SA · iNaturalistAs printed (Eqs. 2-5 (X1 = ln DBH) and Table 3, Simple SUR, Douglas-fir)
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Foliage biomass = exp(-3.242 + 1.758 * ln(D))D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
Read from the author's accepted manuscript (draft, manuscript ID cjfr-2015-0256.R1), not the typeset article; values may differ from the final print. Fitted in original scale (nonlinear SUR), so no log back-transform correction. DBH in cm, biomass in kg (Eq. 2-5 text). Extended SUR models using height and crown length are not included (crown length is not a canonical variable).

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 | 7.57 | 7.57 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form (coefficients as printed) |
| D = 50 | 37.9 | 37.9 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form (coefficients as printed) |
| D = 100 | 128 | 128 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form (coefficients as printed) |
