Stem volume = 0.00042 * D^2.2254
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm

Volume to a 5 cm top diameter by Smalian's formula on 2 m sections (stem volume, no branches). Diameter was taken at 1.3 m or 20 cm above ground (as printed: 'setinggi dada (1,3 m) atau 20 cm di atas permukaan tanah'); the paper does not say which trees used which. Natural-log form as printed, with no correction factor stated. Fit ranges are those of the model-development subset (70% of the trees, Table 1).
