Pinus radiata / Aboveground biomass
Pinus radiata total tree dry weight from DBHOB and height (Eq. 8, Table 4)

In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Aboveground biomass = 0.0378 * D^1.893 * H^0.788 + 0.0372 * D^2.1755D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
Dry-weight system with DBHOB and total height; R2 for total tree 0.94. Total tree dry weight is the sum of the product (stem sawlog and pulpwood) and residue (stump, branches with needles, waste) equations, so it is aboveground including stump and foliage. DBHOB is diameter at breast height over bark at 1.3 m, in cm; weights in kg (dry). Rotation-age stands, 28 to 42 years, unthinned and thinned pooled. Product and residue equations are not added individually, nor the fresh-weight, stand-type dummy (Equations 9 and 10) or allocative systems. No correction factor is applied.

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 = 20, H = 20 | 141 | 141 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form: product plus residue dry weight |
| D = 40, H = 30 | 708 | 708 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form: product plus residue dry weight |
| D = 65, H = 36 | 2,048 | 2,048 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form: product plus residue dry weight |
