Equation

As printed (Table 2, p. 12)

Wt = ΣWi

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

Aboveground biomass = (0.00716 * D^2.02253 * H^1.30938) + (0.03088 * D^1.10021 * H^1.09925) + (0.01613 * D^1.90578 * H^0.70112) + (0.03886 * D^1.53515 * H^0.31776)
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H
Total tree height, m

Equation as printed in the Table 2 system for this taxon; d is DBH in cm, h total height in m, output in kg dry mass. R² is the 10-fold cross-validation value. Total AGB is printed as Wt = sum of the four components (stem wood, stem bark, branches, foliage); the expression is that sum of the four printed equations.
