Equation

As printed (Table 2, combination 23)

Ln(VTsc) = -10,1851313632 + 2,364187701 * Ln(Dap) + 0,6489733199 * Ln(H)

In this library's units, ready to compute (m³)

Total volume = exp(-10.1851313632 + 2.364187701 * ln(D) + 0.6489733199 * ln(H))
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H
Total tree height, m

Pooled fit for regions 2 and 3 after the Graybill identity test found them similar. n for the pooled fit is not printed and is left out. Dap, H and volume units are not spelled out beside the model; read as Dap in cm, H in m, volume in m3 (consistent magnitudes). No back-transformation correction factor is stated, so none is applied. R2 printed as a percentage.
