Acacia mearnsii / Stem biomass
Acacia mearnsii Stem biomass from D and H (Table 3, model 1)
© Chris Ecroyd · CC BY · iNaturalistAs printed (Table 3, Stem biomass model 1)
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Stem biomass = 0.99 + 0.01 * (D * H)^1.75D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
Coefficients are printed to two decimals only, so predictions are coarse for small trees. D is DBH in cm, H in m, biomass in kg (Table 2). Trees aged 3 to 6 years. R2 printed as a percentage and converted to a fraction. Table 3 was read from the journal CSV download; the column order is a, b, c, R2, RMSE, MAD, AIC, p. Stem, AGB and total biomass model 1 are the best models per the authors. Branch and leaf models are not added (Table 3: R2 about 0.5 for branches and about 0.6 for leaves).

Shaded: the DBH range the model was fitted on. Other inputs held at the values above.
On every build, the library's form and the paper's own form (in its units) must both give these values within 1%.
| Inputs | Expected | We get | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| D = 3, H = 2.5 | 1.33 | 1.33 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form |
| D = 7, H = 4.4 | 5.02 | 5.02 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form |
| D = 11, H = 6.5 | 18.6 | 18.6 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form |
