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

Aboveground biomass = 0.095 * D30^2.25
D30
Stem diameter at 30 cm, cm

DSH at 0.3 m mapped to D30. Best species-specific model for Juniperus procera from stump diameter. Adjusted R2 0.982. The fits were done on ln-transformed data and the paper says predictions were back-transformed with a correction factor (CF from RSE) for its error statistics, but it does not print the CF or say whether the tabulated a already includes it; no cf is entered. Adjusted R2 is given in the notes, not fit.r2, because it is adjusted.
