Equation

As printed (Table 4, M1)

height = 0.466 *dbh + 3.623

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

Height = 0.466 * D + 3.623
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm

r2 is the adjusted R2 as printed in Table 6 (RMSE 3.718). Fitted on the 80% training split of the FRA 2018 sample; the paper's n is ambiguous (610 'sample plots' vs 610 trees in Table 3), so n_trees and ranges are left out. Table 6 coefficient columns differ from Table 4; Table 4 (printed formulas, consistent with Table 3 class means) is used.
