Equation

As printed (Table 2, Quercus ilex, Stem row)

Ws = 0.143 · d²

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

Stem biomass = 0.143 * D^2
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm

Stem with bark (commercial volume, up to a top diameter of 7 cm); fitted jointly with the branch equations by SUR to keep components additive. Stand type is not stated per species in the paper. Branch equations for this species are not added.
