Wr = 0.169 · d²
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Root biomass = 0.169 * D^2D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
Belowground biomass; fewer trees than aboveground (one tree per diameter class). Table 1 diameter range covers all sample trees, not only the root subset, so no DBH range is set. Stand type is not stated per species in the paper. Branch equations for this species are not added.
