# Commercial stem volume from DBH, Manilkara huberi (species-specific, Table 2) Stem volume equation for Manilkara huberi, Brazil, from Santos et al. 2020. 6,582 trees, DBH from 50 cm. Listed on Tree Allometrics, a free library of tree allometric equations, each quoted from the source that published it. ## Equation As printed in Santos et al. 2020 (Table 2, SSEs rows): > M. huberi vc = exp(-5.95341 + 1.76982ln(DBH)) 0.60 1.759 28.4 Cite: https://treeallometry.org/equations/santos-2020-manilkara-huberi/#equation In this library's units, ready to compute (stem volume in m³): ``` Stem volume = exp(-5.95341 + 1.76982 * ln(D)) ``` Inputs: D = Diameter at breast height (1.3 m) (cm). The source's own form: exp(-5.95341 + 1.76982 * ln(DBH)), with DBH in cm; output in m3.

No back-transformation correction factor is stated, so none is applied. n_trees is the adjustment (fitting) set; DBH range is that of the whole dataset (all species), not stated per species. Ten percent of trees were held out for validation. 8 of the 36+1 species equations in Table 2 were added (the ten most important commercial species by harvested volume plus H. petraeum); the generic FMA equation was rejected by the authors' own paired t-test. The most important commercial species of the study. ## Checks this equation passes On every build, the library's form and the source's own form (in its units) must both give these values within 1%. | Inputs | Expected | We get | From | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | D = 60 | 3.64 | 3.64 | Computed from the printed form: hand-computed from the Table 2 coefficients | | D = 90 | 7.47 | 7.47 | Computed from the printed form: hand-computed from the Table 2 coefficients | | D = 130 | 14.3 | 14.3 | Computed from the printed form: hand-computed from the Table 2 coefficients | Cite: https://treeallometry.org/equations/santos-2020-manilkara-huberi/#checks ## How to cite Cite the source for the equation: Santos, M.F. dos, Figueiredo Filho, A., Gama, J.R.V., Retslaff, F.A. de S., Costa, D.L. da (2020).
